“…Half of the patients treated with TKI drugs suffer frequent sunburn and complain of a more difficult sun‐tanning. The skin phototypes distribution in our patients treated with imatinib are different from the previously reported in a Spanish study of healthy population in Costa del Sol, 32 but is entirely similar to the reported data in melanoma studies from the Mediterranean area 33 . As we have made a transversal study in the cohort of patients with CML, it is also possible that the advice of avoiding sun exposition that usually is recommended to these patients, may have altered our results.…”

Various risk factors contribute to its rising incidence and prevalence, such as high UV light exposure in occupational and recreational activities, aging populations, exposure to specific chemicals and smoking [4].…”
