abstract = {Citrus intake has been suggested to increase the risk of
skin cancer. Although this relation is highly plausible
biologically, epidemiologic evidence is lacking. We aimed to
examine the potential association between citrus intake and
skin cancer risk. EPIC is an ongoing multi-center
prospective cohort initiated in 1992 and involving
~ 520,000 participants who have been followed-up in 23
centers from 10 European countries. Dietary data were
collected at baseline using validated country-specific
dietary questionnaires. We used Cox proportional hazards
regression models to compute hazard ratios (HR) and $95\%$
confidence intervals (CI). During a mean follow-up of
13.7 years, 8448 skin cancer cases were identified among
270,112 participants. We observed a positive linear
dose-response relationship between total citrus intake and
skin cancer risk (HR = 1.10, $95\% CI$ 1.03-1.18 in the
highest vs. lowest quartile; Ptrend = 0.001),
particularly with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (HR = 1.11,
$95\% CI$ 1.02-1.20, Ptrend = 0.007) and squamous cell
carcinoma (SCC) (HR = 1.23, $95\%$ CI 1.04-1.47,
Ptrend = 0.01). Citrus fruit intake was positively
associated with skin cancer risk (HR = 1.08, $95\%$ CI
1.01-1.16, Ptrend = 0.01), particularly with melanoma
(HR = 1.23, $95\%$ CI 1.02-1.48; Ptrend = 0.01),
although with no heterogeneity across skin cancer types
(Phomogeneity = 0.21). Citrus juice was positively
associated with skin cancer risk (Ptrend = 0.004),
particularly with BCC (Ptrend = 0.008) and SCC
(Ptrend = 0.004), but not with melanoma
(Phomogeneity = 0.02). Our study suggests moderate
positive linear dose-response relationships between citrus
intake and skin cancer risk. Studies with available
biomarker data and the ability to examine sun exposure
behaviors are warranted to clarify these associations and
examine the phototoxicity mechanisms of furocoumarin-rich
foods.},
