Cutaneous Biology Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Skin cancer includes various types, with non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) being the most prevalent globally, primarily caused by skin exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.
- UV light causes genetic changes in skin cells that can promote cancer, especially when combined with a changed environment and immune suppression.
- Recent research has led to new treatments targeting specific pathways in advanced NMSC cases, but challenges like drug resistance and side effects remain, prompting ongoing studies for better therapies.

This qualitative study examined fatalistic beliefs and cancer causal attributions among people without cancer.

Three main themes emerged, referring to the variability in fatalistic beliefs of cancer occurrence and cancer outcome, the duality in attributing causality to divine providence and mere luck or chance, and the connection between distinct fatalistic beliefs and health behaviors.
