Sunlight and the onset of skin cancer.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Oct 1997

Brash D E

Abstract excerpt

The photons of sunlight precipitate a series of genetic events in skin leading to cancer. These events involve somatic mutations as well as inherited alleles. Competition between cell populations ensues, as a single mutated cell expands into a clone. Thus cancer involves both a single-cell problem and a many-cell problem; in skin cancer, sunlight appears to drive both.
