A prospective study of measured body size and height and risk of keratinocyte cancers and melanoma

Background: The potential influence of measured body weight and height on keratinocyte skin cancer risk has scarcely been studied. Some evidence indicates melanoma risk increases as self-reported height increases, but an association with body mass index (BMI) is less certain.
