A causal relationship Organization (WHO) estimated that around 1.5 has been established between UVB DNA lesions million disability-adjusted life years were lost and photocarcinogenesis, as indicated by the annually through the direct and indirect effects high proportion of p53 mutations characterized of excessive UV exposure worldwide [1].

Although less energetic than (NMSCs) representing more than 90% of all skin UVB, UVA is at least 20-fold more abundant in cancers. The WHO recently reported that up to natural sunlight and is equally involved in skin 2–3 million NMSCs are diagnosed worldwide carcinogenesis.

Interestingly, the research group [9] showed in a This article is based on previously conducted subsequent study [10] that the rate of removal studies and does not contain any studies with of UVA-induced CPDs was lower than those human participants or animals performed by produced by UVB and that more UVA lesions any of the authors. were accumulated in whole skin, emphasizing the crucial role of UVA in skin carcinogenesis. UVA photons are partly absorbed by the upper UV-MEDIATED SKIN DAMAGE layers of skin, yet they are also able to penetrate deep into the dermis, whereas UVB radiation is Chronic exposure to solar radiation is the most mostly absorbed by the epidermis. The limited important environmental factor involved in capacity of human skin to repair UVA-induced photoaging and in the pathogenesis of skin cancers, especially actinic keratosis (AK) and SCC. The role of UV radiation in the patho- genesis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and mel- anoma appears more complicated, but is probably related to acute exposure during childhood and adolescence. Cellular DNA is the major cellular target in UV carcinogenesis, through the induction of photo-induced direct and indirect damage that can induce mutations [4]. The chemical nature and the formation of DNA lesions greatly depend on the wavelength of incident photons. UVB radiation, the most energetic and muta- genic component of solar radiations, is directly absorbed by DNA and induces dimeric photo- Fig. 1 Ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced changes ulti- products between adjacent pyrimidine bases, mately lead to non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC).
