Is there more than one road to melanoma?

Lancet (London, England) - 28 Feb 2004

Rivers Jason K

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Sunlight is the main environmental cause of most cutaneous melanomas. Exposure to intense bursts of ultraviolet radiation, especially in childhood, starts the transformation of benign melanocytes into a malignant phenotype. Paradoxically, outdoor workers have a decreased risk of melanoma compared with indoor workers, suggesting that chronic sunlight exposure can have a protective effect. Further, some...
