Prediagnostic serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and melanoma risk [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractPrevious studies of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in relation to melanoma have shown conflicting results. We conducted a nested case–control study of 708 cases and 708 controls, using prediagnostically collected serum, to study 25(OH)D and melanoma risk in the population-based Janus Serum Bank Cohort. Stratified Cox regression was used to
