Month of birth influences the risk of developing several diseases. We investigated the influence of date of birth on melanoma skin cancer (MSC) and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) incidence.
Enhanced cancer registry data were analysed including 1751 MSC and 15 200 NMSC.
People born in February to April showed significantly elevated risks of NMSC compared with those born in summertime.
We demonstrated seasonality by date of birth for skin cancer incidence. Neonatal UV exposure may explain this finding.
出生月份会影响多种疾病的发病风险。我们研究了出生日期对皮肤黑色素瘤(MSC)和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌(NMSC)发病率的影响。
分析了增强的癌症登记数据,包括1751例皮肤黑色素瘤和15200例非黑色素瘤皮肤癌。
与夏季出生的人相比,2月至4月出生的人患非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的风险显著升高。
我们证明了皮肤癌发病率按出生日期存在季节性。新生儿期紫外线暴露可能解释这一发现。
