Skin cancer has increased significantly in the last four decades

Skin cancer has increased significantly in the last four decades Incidence rates of skin cancer (cutaneous malignant melanoma) have increased more than 550% in males and 250% in females since the early 1980s in England - according to a new study by Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). Published in the new Lancet journal, The Lancet Regional Health - Europe, the study analyzed data on more than 265,000 individuals diagnosed with skin cancer in England over the 38-year period, 1981-2018. Skin cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UK, with about 16,200 new cases each year. Excessive exposure to UV radiation from the sun (or sunlight) is the main environmental risk factor for developing skin cancer. It is estimated that about 86% of all skin cancers in the UK are attributable to excessive exposure to sunlight. Exposure to artificial sources of UV radiation from indoor tanning beds/lamps is the second most important cause of skin cancer.
