Infectious and lifestyle determinants of non-melanoma skin cancer.

基底细胞癌和鳞状细胞皮肤癌是澳大利亚的主要癌症，每年约有2%的人口患上这种癌症。除了阳光照射外，人们认为还有许多其他因素会影响这些癌症。这项研究将调查吸烟、饮酒和感染某些与皮肤有关的人类乳头瘤病毒等因素是否也会增加患乳腺癌的风险。在预防这些常见癌症方面，即使是很小的影响也可能产生很大的不同。

Basal and squamous cell skin cancers are the leading cancers in Australia, with about 2% of the population developing them each year. As well as sun exposure, a number of other factors have been thought to effect these cancers. This study will examine if factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and infection with certain skin related human papillomaviruses also increase their risk. Even a small effect may make a big difference when it comes to preventing these common cancers.
