Exposure to sun may reduce risk of kidney cancer
Mar 08 2010
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Maryland conducted the study, which has been published in the journal of the American Cancer Society.
Sara Karami and her team aimed to investigate a potential link between increases in vitamin D deficiency and the disease over recent decades.
And while no association between exposure to sunlight and the condition was found among women, men who work outdoors were shown to be up to 38 per cent less at risk.
However, Dr Karami noted that the results "need to be replicated in other populations and in studies that use better estimates of long-term ultraviolet exposure and vitamin D intake" in order to establish a clear connection.
Last month, researchers at the Medical College of Georgia identified proteins in oral lesions that could help predict the growth of cancer.
