Sun exposure in both childhood and adult life represents the main environmental risk determinant for cutaneous melanoma. However, little is known about the joint effects of sun exposure during early and later life on melanoma risk. A case-control study in Belgium, Germany and France conducted in 199
## Abstract Sun exposure is the main environmental risk factor for melanoma, but the timing of exposure during life that confers increased risk is controversial. Here we provide the first report of the association between lifetime and ageβspecific cumulative ultraviolet exposure and cutaneous melan
## Abstract A model has been proposed whereby melanomas arise through two distinct pathways dependent on the relative influence of host susceptibility and sun exposure. Such pathways may explain siteβspecific patterns of melanoma occurrence. To explore this model, we investigated the relationship b
The site-specific relationship between melanoma and sun exposure was investigated in the high-risk region of New Zealand. Age and latitude of residence were used as biological and geographical proxy measures of exposure for the 16,117 newly incident cases and 3,150 death records reported between 196
## Abstract Uveal and cutaneous melanomas differ in tumor biology, immunophenotypes and the demographic correlates of their occurrence. As a means to examine the possibility of some shared etiologic factors, we wished to learn if the 2 cancers occurred in the same individual more often than would b
