Residential ambient ultraviolet B and ultraviolet A and incidence of keratinocyte carcinoma in the nationwide US Radiologic Technologists cohort
Both summer UVB and annual UVA were independently associated with higher risks of both BCC and SCC. Our results suggest that cumulative lifetime UVA exposure may be an underappreciated contributor to BCC and SCC risk. If confirmed, these findings may indicate that public health interventions are required to promote avoidance of excessive UVB and UVA exposure among susceptible populations.
