Dr Simon Lergenmuller, an epidemiologist at the University of Oslo in Norway and the study's author, said: "These results support development of policies that regulate indoor tanning."In the first study of its kind, his team identified a "dose-response link" with squamous cell carcinoma - the second most common form of skin cancer.
Those younger or older than 30 when they began using sunbeds were up to 83 per cent more likely to develop the disease. Norway, one of the few countries with national high-quality SCC incidence data, has had a nine and sixfold increase in SCC incidence among women and men respectively since 1963.There are an estimated 7,000 tanning salons in Britain, with some offering sessions from as little as 50p a minute.
This is because sunbeds pelt the skin with such strong UV rays which increase the risk of developing malignant melanoma - the most serious form of skin cancer. Around 16,000 new melanoma skin cancer cases are diagnosed in the UK every year - that's 44 every day.It’s part of the reason the World Health Organisation has deemed sunbeds are as dangerous as smoking.Dr Lergenmuller added: "Avoidance of indoor tanning may help prevent not only melanoma but also SCC."Earlier this year a study by the British Skin Foundation found 75 per cent of dermatologists think sunbeds should be banned in the UK.
