Can cancer result from wearing black clothing in the sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cancer develops and grows based on changes in the oncogene components within the cell. Mutations in genes such as p53 are induce by viruses or carcinogens. As an example, the LTR of the MMTV virus enters the Wnt-1 gene to induce overproduction of B-catenin causing aggressive behavior. This does not occur by type of cloths worn in sun. Latter causes increased sweating and not Ca.
