Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Methylcholanthrene and benzanthracene are chemicals associated with the development of skin cancers, but they are more specifically linked to non-melanoma skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, rather than malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma is more strongly associated with UV radiation exposure.
