It is well established, at least in mice, that not only ultraviolet C (UVC) or ultraviolet B (UVB),
but also ultraviolet A (UVA) is able to induce squamous cell carcinomas. Results from animal …

Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common type of human cancer. Solar
ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the main causative factor in the development of NMSC. UVR …

The incidence and mortality rates of melanoma have risen for many decades in the United
States. Increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is generally considered to be …

Recent research is revealing combinations of disturbed oncogenic and tumor-suppressive

The UV components of sunlight (UVA and UVB) are implicated in the etiology of human skin
cancer. The underlying mechanism of action for UVB carcinogenicity is well defined; …

Ultraviolet B and A radiations (respective wavelength ranges 280–315 and 315–400 nm)
are present in sunlight at ground level. The ultraviolet radiation does not penetrate any …
