DISRUPT is a Danish nested case-control study that is currently being conducted to explore the impact of prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals on testicular cancer risk (including histological sub-groups) with emphasis on the analysis of exposure mixtures. Pregnant mothers provided serum and amniotic fluid at recruitment up to 50 years ago. By registry linkage within highly reliable national population and disease registries cancer cases and matched controls will be identified. Levels of EDCs including DDT, DDE and other organochlorine pesticides, PCBs, PBDEs, PFAS, phthalates and triclosan will be quantified in cases whose sons develop testicular cancer during 40 year follow up and compared to controls.
