Skin Cancer Risk and In Vitro UVB Sensitivity
To determine whether sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage is associated with the risk of skin cancer in the general population, Wang et al. (p. 1822) compared the frequency of UVB-induced chromosomal breaks in the lymphocytes of 469 patients with skin cancer and of 329 control subjects in a hospital-based casecontrol study. They found that patients with basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas had a higher frequency of UVB-induced chromosomal breaks than patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma and control subjects. The authors conclude that sensitivity to UVB-induced DNA damage may be associated with susceptibility
