Han and his colleagues analysed data from the Nurses' Health Study, a large and long-running study to aid in the investigation of factors influencing women's health, and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, an analogous study for men.

An inverse association was observed between all coffee consumption and risk of basal cell carcinoma.
