Aim of special session Obtain better knowledge of epidemiological and clinical aspects, SR exposure mechanisms and biological interactions to raise awareness and implement preventive strategies Solar Radiation (SR) is associated to various skin cancers: actinic keratosis (AK), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and malignant melanoma (MM). Occupational activity is one of the most relevant factors influencing SR exposure. Alone in Europe about 14.5 million outdoor workers (OW) are exposed to SR for at least 75 % of their working time. The prevalence of occupational skin cancer among OW is very high and increasing. Most countries do not recognize skin cancer as an occupational disease.
