UV exposure at work and skin cancer

Background and Purpose: It is well known that exposure to UV radiation can be harmful for human health. UV exposure is often related to professional occupation. Methods and Materials: Data from Croatian Referral Center for melanoma were analyzed to find out whether the incidence of melanoma was related to the occupation. Results: Our results show almost the same incidence of melanoma between people with university diploma and people with high school diploma even thought results are insufficient and certain conclusion cannot be made. Conclusions: Cumulative UVR known as a main environmental agent has not yet been proven as a role in developing melanoma.
