Temporal changes in the incidence of malignant melanoma: explanation from action spectra

Mutation Research
R B Setlow, A D Woodhead

Abstract

The incidence of malignant cutaneous melanoma has been increasing for more than 50 years, and is now rising more rapidly than that of any other cancer. This increase is not explicable by changes in the physical environment, particularly by any observed increase in UVB radiation (290-320 nm). The distribution of melanomas on the body differs from the site distribution of nonmelanoma skin cancer (relatively many more melanomas occur on areas of the body not chronically exposed to sunlight, such as the back of the trunk in males, and the legs in females). This localization of melanoma, together with its epidemiology, suggest that a change in lifestyle has contributed to the fast-rising incidence in many countries. There is no convenient mammalian animal model for malignant melanoma. However, certain inter- and intra-specific hybrids of fish of the genus Xiphophorus are very sensitive to light-induced melanomas; we have used them to determine the wavelengths effective in melanoma induction. The action spectrum has a relatively very large component in the UVA region (320-400 nm) compared to human erythema. Hence, if the human and fish spectra were similar, the use of sunscreens that minimize erythema would have little effect in prev...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
