  • Title: Recent tanning bed use: a risk factor for melanoma.
    Author: Buckel TB, Goldstein AM, Fraser MC, Rogers B, Tucker MA.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol; 2006 Apr; 142(4):485-8. PubMed ID: 16618869.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Individuals at increased risk of melanoma should use sun-protective measures to decrease their risk of developing melanoma. OBSERVATION: We report a case of a 39-year-old patient with a CDKN2A mutation who developed 3 primary melanomas within a few years of initiating tanning bed use. CONCLUSION: Intense UV exposure as an adult likely contributed to the development of additional primary melanomas in this individual.
