Seasonal variation in the month of birth in patients with skin cancer

BACKGROUND: 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. METHODS: Enhanced cancer registry data were analysed including 1751 MSC and 15 200 NMSC. RESULTS:...

description BACKGROUND: 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. METHODS: Enhanced cancer registry data were analysed including 1751 MSC and 15 200 NMSC. RESULTS: People born in February to April showed significantly elevated risks of NMSC compared with those born in summertime. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated seasonality by date of birth for skin cancer incidence. Neonatal UV exposure may explain this finding.
