Miura K, et al. - Using data from the 1970s through the 1990s, researchers estimated the risk of melanoma and keratinocyte cancer (KC) among airline pilots and cabin crew. They recorded the pooled standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) (pSIR) for melanoma in pilots as 2.03, while it was 2.12 for cabin crew. They also found the pooled standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for melanoma in pilots was 1.99, whereas for cabin crew, it was 1.18. The pSIR for KC was reported as 1.86 in pilots whereas it was 1.97 in cabin crew. Overall, they noticed twice the risk of melanoma and other skin cancers among airline pilots and cabin crew vs the general population. They concluded a higher incidence of death from melanoma among pilots.
