Book Chapter Description

Occupational skin cancer occurs years after exposure. Due to improvements of industrial processes, there has been a decline in occupational skin cancers. Common carcinogens are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, ionizing radiation, and arsenic. Skin malignancy induction is usually due to mutation of the p53 gene by the carcinogen. There is an increasing frequency of melanoma among the aviation crew.
