Soft-tissue sarcoma: a malignant tumour that is often attributed as a “dioxin cancer”. However, in a large case-control study the risk of this cancer was not found increased when dioxin concentration in the body increased, rather the risk was highest at the lowest body burden of total TEqs (Tuomisto et al., Int. J. Cancer, 2004:108:893-900, [2]). Also the Seveso studies do not favour the hypothesis of dioxins increasing the risk of this cancer.[1]
