Vitamin D serum levels and non-melanoma skin cancer risk

Abstract: Background Skin cancer is one of the common malignancies. There is sufficient evidence that sunlight (ultraviolet radiation) contributes to the development of skin cancer, but there is also evidence that relates adequate serum levels of vitamin D produced on the skin by the action of ultraviolet radiation with the decreased risk of various types of cancers, including skin cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of vitamin D serum levels among patients with non-melanoma s… Show more

“…Nowadays, the concept of vitamin D is extensively reviewed and revised. It has numerous functions implicated in the complex regulation of physiological processes in the human body [10][11][12][13][14]. Under exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) rays with a wavelength from 290 up to 315 nm, the synthesis of vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol) from 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) occurs in the skin (Figure 1).…”
