The patients were identified through the Netherlands cancer registry. Controls were recruited among acquaintances of the cancer registry registrars. The participants completed a questionnaire that included questions on occupational exposures, naked sunbathing, use of sunbeds, skin diseases and their treatments, treatments for cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. Age\u2010adjusted odds\u2010ratios (ORs) were calculated.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Forty\u2010seven scrotal cancer patients and 125 controls completed the questionnaire. The patients were categorized according to histology of the scrotal tumours. Having had a skin disease (OR\u2003=\u20036.3, 95% CI\u2003=\u20031.8\u201322), especially psoriasis (OR\u2003=\u20038.7), increased the risk of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the scrotum. A previous cancer diagnosis may affect the risk of scrotal basal cell carcinomas (BCC; OR\u2003=\u20034.9, 95% CI\u2003=\u20030.9\u201327.3). Furthermore, an association between the number of sexual partners and the occurrence of scrotal sarcoma was found.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Scrotal SCCs may be related with skin diseases or skin disease treatments. Having had cancer may be a risk factor for a BCC of the scrotum. Scrotal sarcomas seem to be correlated with the number of sexual partners. This study suggests that scrotal cancer has characteristics of both cutaneous and genital carcinogenesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.12056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,6]],"date-time":"2012-12-06T12:25:30Z","timestamp":1354796730000},"page":"65-71","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["New insights into the aetiology of scrotal cancer, a nationwide case\u2010control study in the Netherlands"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"R.H.A.","family":"Verhoeven","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.K.H.","family":"Aben","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.M.","family":"van Rossum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.M.","family":"Reedijk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.A.","family":"Botterweck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Veerbeek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"O.","family":"Visser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.A.","family":"van der Aa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V.K.Y.","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.W.W.","family":"Coebergh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.A.L.M.","family":"Kiemeney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/46.1.69"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"169","article-title":"Occupational cancers","volume":"12","author":"Heller I","year":"1930","journal-title":"J Ind Hyg"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.bmb.a072833"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)62834-9","article-title":"An assessment of carcinoma of the scrotum","volume":"98","author":"Kickham CJ","year":"1967","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.1976.tb23102.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","first-page":"188","article-title":"Scrotal cancer in the north\u2010west of England, 1962\u201368","volume":"29","author":"Lee WR","year":"1972","journal-title":"Br J Ind Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","first-page":"530","article-title":"Cancer of the scrotum in wax pressmen.
