      UVA sources (tanning parlors).
      Various repair mechanisms which can
      eliminate these lesions exist. Not all repair
      mechanisms always guarantee error-free,
      correct restoration of genetic material.
      Further, the most important error-free
      mechanism, excision repair, is quickly
      saturated when large numbers of dimers
      are formed [11]. When damage goes un-
      recognized and is not repaired, perma-
      nent mutations in the DNA base se-
      quences develop during cell division.
      The vital role of repair systems is best ap-
      preciated by studying diseases in which
      repair defects occur, such as xeroderma
      pigmentosum.

      all cutaneous malignancies. The inci-
      dence has climbed dramatically in the
      last decades. Melanoma also displays a
      south-north gradient in the USA with a
      significantly higher incidence in the white
      population. In Australia, the numbers are
      3 to 4 times higher than in Europe.
      Despite epidemiologic similarities to ep-
      ithelial skin tumors, there are differences
      in the history of sun exposure in
      melanoma patients, so that the correla-
      tion between UV exposure and develop-

      questioned [12, 13]. Development and

      chronic continuous irradiation but in-
      stead acute, intensive intermittent irra-
      diation, mainly during leisure activity
      with sunburn reactions, constitutes a
      prime risk factor with the absolute UV
      dose possibly playing only a secondary
      role. The latency period is shorter than
      in epithelial tumors [14–16].                   Figure 2: Factors influencing global radiation.
