Klinik und Pathogenese UV-induzierter Hauttumoren

The reduction of the stratospheric ozone layer has led to increased exposure to UV radiation. The changes in the leisure behaviour of the population are an important factor in UV-induced disease. Apart from UV exposure during leisure activities, occupational exposure to UV radiation should not be underestimated. This article discusses occupational exposure to UV radiation and the pathomechanisms of UV-associated skin tumours in the context of different wavelengths of UV radiation.
