Summary

This observational study in Italy will examine the link between work-related sun exposure and melanoma. Researchers will interview 300 people (120 with melanoma, 180 without) about their job history, sun habits, and protection use. The goal is to better understand how outdoor work contributes to melanoma and to improve reporting of these cases as occupational diseases.
