Abstract | |||
This project is designed to facilitate study of the potential protective effects of UV/ temperature/ vitamin D against a number of cancers. Several projects were completed during the past few years and findings were published or submitted, including evaluations of UV and other determinants of circulating 25(OH)D, correlation of 25(OH)D levels within individuals across seasons, and individual, environmental, and meteorological determinants of daily personal UV exposure measurements. Ongoing projects include assessment of the relationship between 25(OH)D and telomere length and risk of melanoma with specific UV wavelengths. Also investigations are underway to examine historical UVR exposure and risk of breast and other cancers. |
