Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and hexachlorobenzene, semen quality and testicular cancer risk [PDF]
PURPOSE: We carried out a case-control study to investigate the possible role of occupational and environmental exposure to endocrine disruptors in the onset of testicular cancer (TC). METHODS: We evaluated 125 TC patients and 103 controls.
