* This news is based on the following article: Fortes C, Mastroeni S, Segatto M, et al. Occupational exposure to pesticides with occupational sun exposure increases the risk for cutaneous melanoma. J Occup Environ Med 2016; 58: 370-5.doi: 10.1097/JOM.0000000000000665
Adding to the still scarce literature, this case-control study supports the hypothesis of a link between occupational exposure to pesticides and the development of cutaneous melanoma. It also highlights a combined effect of exposure to both pesticides and ultraviolet rays in people working outdoors.
