✦ Synopsis

Since the investigation, at an individual level, of lifetime sun exposure remains difficult, the site distribution of different types of skin cancer can be an important source of aetiological clues. The present report deals with I, 149 cases of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), 7,685 of basal-cell carcinoma (BCC) and 3,049 of squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) reported between 1976 and 1992 to the Vaud Cancer Registry, in Switzerland. Site-and type-specific age-standardized (on the world population) incidence rates per IOO.000 population and per IOO.000 unit surface were computed, together with relative age-standardized incidence rates (i.e., rates per 100,000 surface

Common fragile sites were induced by excess thymidine in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated T lymphocytes from 4 normal individuals, and skin fibroblasts from 4 normal and 5 fra(X) positive individuals. The results indicate that the frequency and distribution of excess thymidine-induced fragile sites are
