Abstract excerpt
Different wavelengths of ultraviolet (UV) light have different promoting effects on skin carcinogenesis. Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) has a single-peak wavelength of 311 nm and is widely used for treating skin diseases. Our previous work showed that, in comparison with conventional broadband UVB (BB-UVB), long-term exposure to NB-UVB induces higher frequency of skin cancer in mice, and it suggested that this is...
