Occupational exposure to non‐artificial UV‐light and non‐melanocytic skin cancer – a systematic review concerning a new occupational disease

Background: Although UV exposure is the most important risk factor for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a systematic review analyzing the risk of occupational UV exposure is missing.
