Ultravioletradiation (UVR) is an essentialriskfactor for the development of premalignant skinlesions as well as of melanomaandnon-melanoma skin cancer.
Ironically, because past research studying the after-effects of exposure to things like atom bombs and radiation treatments for cancer suggests the most important environmental riskfactor for meningiomas is ionising radiation.
