Abstract
Our results suggest a decreased incidence of most cancers in patients with PD. PD patients had a significantly increased risk of malignant melanoma, a finding consistent with prior studies. We confirmed an interaction between smoking and the relationship of PD to smoking-related cancer that may fit the pattern of a gene-environment interaction.
