Exposure to solar UV radiation is the main cause for all forms of skin cancers, including
melanoma. UVB photons (290–320 nm wavelength) represent the most energetic and …

Melanoma is a lethal type of skin tumor that has been linked with sunlight exposure chiefly in
fair-skinned human populations. Wavelengths from the sun that can reach the earth's …

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, and nearly 90% of melanomas are believed
to be caused by ultraviolet radiation (UVR), mainly from sunlight. UVR induces DNA …

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation from the sun has been epidemiologically and mechanistically
linked to skin cancer, a spectrum of diseases of rising incidence in many human …

Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is one of the most rapidly increasing cancers in the
western world (Bowden, 2004). Frequency of its occurrence is closely associated with skin …

Malignant melanoma of the skin ranks as the number one cause of death from skin cancers.
