Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCC), a common cancer in white populations, is related to sunshine exposure; however, relatively little information is available on how timing and character of exposure affect the relationship. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of the relationship of SCC to individual solar UV exposure after control for phenotype and pigmentary factors. All newly diagnosed cases of SCC were in men aged 25 through 79 years, ascertained in the province of Alberta from January 1, 1983, through December 31, 1984, who were approached for participation; 80% completed a standardized etiologic interview that was conducted in their homes by a trained interviewer. Control subjects were chosen at random from the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan subscribers list, matched only by sex (male) and age (within a 5-year age group). The response rate among controls was 71%.
