Abstract
SummarySunlight had no outstanding effect upon the incidence of skin cancer among Japanese, although some effect of sunlight could be demonstrated by geographic and occupational factors. The lower incidence of skin cancer among Japanese in comparison with Caucasians was probably due to the higher degree of pigmentation of the skin among Japanese, which protects the skin against the carcinogenic effect of sunlight.Even though Japanese were less susceptible to solar carcinogenesis than Caucasians, the carcinogenic effects of bum scars, traumatic scars or radiodermatitis were more evident on comparison with Caucasians living in similar latitudes.
