Early UVA Exposure Is Not Directly Linked to Melanoma
July 13, 2010
A recent study from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has reversed previous findings that early life exposure to ultraviolet A (UVA) light causes melanoma. According to the findings, UVA exposure is unlikely to have contributed to the rise in occurrences of melanoma over the past 30 years because the fish model is the only animal model to show a connection between UVA exposure at a young age and melanoma development.
