  • Title: Non-melanoma skin cancer: an evaluation of risk in terms of ultraviolet exposure.
    Author: Morales Suárez-Varela M, Llopis González A, Ferrer Caraco E.
    Journal: Eur J Epidemiol; 1992 Nov; 8(6):838-44. PubMed ID: 1294389.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of 143 patients histologically diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) was carried out in order to evaluate the influence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the appearance of more than one NMSC in the same person. Descriptive statistical and logistic regression analyses were carried out for each variable and its possible interaction, in order to determine the potential appearance of multiple NMSC. The results obtained were in agreement with those of earlier studies. A significant relationship was observed between occupational UV exposure and individuals with more than one NMSC. Those patients tended to be blue-eyed and were chronically exposed to UV radiation as a result of occupational activities (although not always in leisure activities); most did not take protective measures such as the use of hats or creams.
