  2. 1. Assessment of UV exposure in a young metropolitan population

    Author : Cecilia Boldeman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adolescents; Behaviors; Erythema; Phenotype; Skin cancer; Sunbed use;

    Abstract : Overexposure to UVR causes >80% of skin cancers, and >30% of all diagnosed cancers in western societies, Sweden included, are skin cancers. Overexposure in terms of UV-induced erythema during childhood and adolescence is considered particularly harmful. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cutaneous malignant melanoma : aspects on prevention

    Author : Mia Bergenmar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Melanoma; Early detection; Prevention; Information; Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome; Knowledge; UV-exposure;

    Abstract : The general aims of the present thesis were to delineate factors of importance for prevention of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). Three samples of patients with CMM, one sample of patients with dysplastic nevus syndrome (DNS) and a sample from the general population were studied. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomarkers for DNA damage in human biomonitoring

    Author : Natalia Kotova; Dag Jenssen; Jan Grawé; Lilianne Abramsson-Zetterberg; Mats Ljungman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : biomonitoring; biomarkers; DNA damage; cancer; diet; UV-light; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Genomic DNA in humans is constantly exposed to different kinds of damage. Therefore, it is desirable to implement methods for detecting and measuring of inflicted body burden. Human biomonitoring (HBM) can here be a useful tool as a link between environmental exposure and disease outcome. READ MORE
