  • Title: Month of birth of men with malignant germ cell tumours of the testis.
    Author: Bernstein L, Chilvers C, Murrells T, Pike MC.
    Journal: J Epidemiol Community Health; 1986 Sep; 40(3):214-7. PubMed ID: 3021889.
    Abstract:
    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.
