Infrared radiation does not enhance the frequency of ultraviolet radiation-induced skin tumors, but their growth behaviour in mice.

Abstract excerpt

There is increasing concern about the interaction between infrared radiation (IR) and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) with regard to carcinogenesis because prolonged solar exposure is associated with an increased cumulative load not only of UVR but also of IR. We recently demonstrated that IR-pretreatment reduces UVR-induced apoptosis. As this might support the survival of UVR-damaged cells and thus carcinogenesis,...
