Melanoma not caused by early ultraviolet (UVA) light exposure, new fish experiments show

Early life exposure to ultraviolet A light does not cause melanoma in a fish model that previously made that connection, scientists report. UVA exposure is unlikely to have contributed to the rise in the incidence of melanoma, the researchers conclude, because the fish model had been the only animal model to link UVA exposure and melanoma.
