Ultraviolet radiation exposure and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Sun exposure has been suggested to increase the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The authors analyzed data from a population-based, case-control study of Connecticut women between 1996 and 2000 to study the hypothesis. Women who reported having had a suntan experienced an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with increasing duration (p(trend) = 0.0062) compared with women who reported never ...
متن کاملAnimal models of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cutaneous melanoma.
The incidence of cutaneous melanoma continues to increase in many parts of the world including the United States. The American Cancer Society predicts that there will be approximately 53,600 new cases of melanoma in the United States during 2002 and that there will be 7,400 deaths from melanoma during the same time period. Increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms and risk factors in...
متن کاملCutaneous hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis homolog: regulation by ultraviolet radiation.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis maintains basal and stress-related homeostasis in vertebrates. Skin expresses all elements of the HPA axis including corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), ACTH, β-endorphin (β-END) with corresponding receptors, the glucocorticoidogenic pathway, and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To test the hypothesis that cutaneous r...
متن کاملScabies associated with radiation therapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
Scabies, infection with Sarcoptes scabiei, is known to be predisposed to by poor body hygiene, environmental exposure, and systemic immunodeficiency. We report the case of an 83-year-old man with Sezary's syndrome who developed scabies limited to the skin of the upper chest, the same location where he had previously received electron beam radiation treatments for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Hist...
متن کاملThe Bystander Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation and Mediators
A bystander effect is biological changes in non-irradiated cells by transmitted signals from irradiated bystander cells, which causes the radiation toxic effects on the adjacent non-irradiated tissues. This phenomenon occurs by agents such as ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and chemotherapy. The bystander effect includes biological processes such as damage to DNA, cell death, ch...
