Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skin cancer is more common among light-skinned people because their skin has less melanin which provides natural protection against UV radiation. Exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds can damage the DNA in skin cells leading to cancer. While avoiding the sun can decrease the risk of skin cancer, it does not eliminate the risk entirely. There is no evidence to suggest that skin cancer is more common in Europe compared with the United States.
