Abstract

Malignant neoplasms of the skin comprise agroup of cancers often less commonly considered occupational than many other types of cancers relatedto workplace exposures, such as mesothelioma, lung, or bladder cancer. One reason for this is that skin neoplasms are very common in the community and the main causal exposure, sunlight, is ubiquitous. Therefore, occupational risk factors may not be recognized when a case of skin cancer is diagnosed.
