Pigmentation-related phenotypes and risk of prostate cancer.

British journal of cancer - 6 Aug 2013

Weinstein S J, Virtamo J, Albanes D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Solar ultraviolet radiation exposure has been inversely related to prostate cancer incidence and mortality, possibly mediated through vitamin D status. Pigmentation-related traits influence endogenous vitamin D synthesis and may alter risk of prostate cancer. METHODS: We examined prostate cancer in relation to hair and eye colour, and skin phototype in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer...
