A recent paper has suggested that there is a temporal cycle in birth rates of men with testis cancer with a peak in April/May. We have investigated the suggestion using data from the South Thames and Los Angeles cancer registries. There is some slight evidence of a peak in August, which is confined to teratomas. The effects demonstrated are, however, too small and inconsistent to provide any real clue to the aetiology of testis cancer.
最近一篇论文表明,睾丸癌男性的出生率存在时间周期,在4月/5月达到峰值。我们利用来自南泰晤士和洛杉矶癌症登记处的数据对这一说法进行了调查。有一些轻微证据表明8月出现峰值,且仅限于畸胎瘤。然而,所显示的影响太小且不一致,无法为睾丸癌的病因提供任何真正线索。
