I assume this particular sun is clockwork and orange?
The Times article seems to report that malignant melanoma is caused solely by UV radiation. In actual fact, there is no REAL understanding as to each person's individual cause. I know nothing about lung cancer, but I am sure, just like skin cancer, that there are other causal factors in play.
