Ultraviolet radiation from the sun plays a major role in the development of skin cancer. There is strong evidence  that chronic, or long-term, UV exposure can induce the development of actinic keratosis (a precancerous condition) and two forms of skin cancer: basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/05/sunburned-as-children-doomed-as-adults/"><P>In contrast, current evidence suggests that intermittent and intense UV exposure plays a major role in the development of most subtypes of melanoma. Lentigo maligna melanoma, a subtype of melanoma commonly found on the face and scalp of elderly men and women, is related to chronic UV exposure. <SPAN id="more-1247"></SPAN></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B693DCFF-169F-400B-93B1-281FD14D76F6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
