Indoor Tanning and Risk of Melanoma: A Case-Control Study in a Highly Exposed Population
Open accessAbstract
Background: Indoor tanning has been only weakly associated with melanoma risk; most reports were unable to adjust for sun exposure, confirm a dose-response, or examine specific tanning devices. A population-based case-control study was conducted to address these limitations. Methods: Cases of invasive cutaneous melanoma, diagnosed in Minnesota between 2004 and 2007 at ages 25 to 59, were ascertained from a statewide cancer registry; age-matched and gender-matched controls were randomly selected from state driver's license lists. Self-administered questionnaires and telephone interviews included information on ever use of indoor tanning, types of device used, initiation age, period of use, dose, duration, and indoor tanning–related burns. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were adjusted for known melanoma risk factors. Results: Among 1,167 cases and 1,101 controls, 62.9% of cases and 51.1% of controls had tanned indoors (adjusted OR 1.74; 95% CI, 1.42-2.14). Melanoma risk was pronounced among users of UVB-enhanced (adjusted OR, 2.86; 95% CI, 2.03-4.03) and primarily UVA-emitting devices (adjusted OR, 4.44; 95% CI, 2.45-8.02). Risk increased with use: years (P < 0.006), hours (P < 0.0001), or sessions (P = 0.0002). ORs were elevated within each initiation age category; among indoor tanners, years used was more relevant for melanoma development. Conclusions: In a highly exposed population, frequent indoor tanning increased melanoma risk, regardless of age when indoor tanning began. Elevated risks were observed across devices. Impact: This study overcomes some of the limitations of earlier reports and provides strong support for the recent declaration by the IARC that tanning devices are carcinogenic in humans.

UVA induces melanoma in mice and in humans who use tanning beds, but it is inefficient at making the cytosine-containing CPD that cause C→T mutations.
“The lower-energy UVA (315-400 nm), which constitutes ~95% of the ultraviolet energy that penetrates the atmosphere, also induces melanoma in mice and in humans who use tanning beds, but it is inefficient at making the cytosine-containing CPD that cause C→T mutations (12, 13).”

The Abstract Results report elevated melanoma odds among indoor tanners, including users of primarily UVA-emitting devices. The Discussion cautions that the study cannot determine whether UVA or UVB caused those associations. The paper does not report melanoma induction in mice or address cytosine-containing CPDs and C→T mutations. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSome studies found a similar dose-dependent effect of indoor tanning independent of age, while another found that tanning increased risk for young women.

“Of note is the recent case–control study, demonstrating the strong correlation between exposure to artificial UVR associated with indoor tanning and risk of melanoma—regardless of age when indoor tanning began.(3) This provides clear evidence in support of classifying UVR as a human carcinogen.”

“Exposure to indoor tanning during adolescence and early adulthood unequivocally contributes to carcinogenesis, and some estimates suggest that frequenting indoor tanning salons before the age of 35 years increases melanoma risk by 75% (Cust et al., 2011; Lazovich et al., 2010; Quinn et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
