| Abstract | Objective: To investigate the role of a range of maternal and pre-natal characteristics as potential risk factors for testicular cancer. Methods: A population-based case–control study of testicular cancer. Mothers of participants completed a questionnaire about their reproductive and obstetric history. Results: The risk of testicular cancer was approximately doubled for sons of mothers aged 15–19 years at conception compared with mothers with older ages at conception. Nausea or vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy was associated with a reduced risk of testicular cancer (odds ratio of 0.73, 95% confidence interval 0.53–1.00). There was also a borderline reduction in risk in men who had been breastfed for 6 months or more (odds ratio 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.41–1.04). Men who had low birthweights (2500 g) or had been born two or more weeks early had slightly increased risks, as did men whose mothers had used oral contraception in the 12 months before their conception. Conclusions: These findings support previous reports of increased risks in men born early or with low birthweight, but the direction of the association with maternal age is contrary to some other studies. The suggestion of a protective effect of breastfeeding requires further confirmation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
