Background Few occupational studies have addressed melanoma in women. Accordingly, our aim was to identify occupations with higher risk of cutaneous melanoma, overall and by site, in Swedish female workers. Methods All gainfully employed Swedish women were followed-up from 1971 to 1989, using Death/

We calculated the short-term and long-term risks of developing cancer among 3,766 patients with a diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma in situ in Sweden from 1958 to 1992. In total, 393 patients developed a primary cancer at any site compared with an expected number of 177 [standardized incidence ratio (
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
Epidemiological data strongly implicate sunlight as the principal environmental cause of melanoma; however, critical molecular targets for ultraviolet (UV)-induced melanoma remain to be identified. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is one possible target, being abnormally expressed in 20-40% of primary
