The greatest risk factor for skin cancer is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Among the three types of solar radiation (UVA, UVB, UVC), UVB rays are most commonly associated with skin cancer. UVB exposure promotes the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in the DNA of cells in the epidermal skin layers, which can lead to mutations as DNA repair machinery attempts to repair the damage.
