Tumorigenesis by a long wavelength UV-A source
Abstract
Albino hairless mice (Skh-hr1) were exposed daily to radiation from a high-power long wavelength UV-A source (wavelengths longer than 340 nm). The irradiations lasted 2 h per day. The daily dose was 220 kJ/m2. Heavy scratching marks were observed in 13 out of 48 animals. However during the experiment 31 of the animals developed tumors of 1 mm or larger before any scratching was observed. The median induction time was 265 days for 1 mm tumors.
