Soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan at increased risk of skin cancer

Soldiers returning from combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan at increased risk of skin cancer: 
There were several factors contributing to the increased risk, including not only the desert and more equatorial latitudes, but also the length of sunlight exposure day to day, and, among many service members, a lack of training regarding the dangers of sun exposure and limited access to sunscreen.
For the study, Powers and her colleagues analyzed anonymous survey data from 212 veterans regarding sun exposure and protection during their last deployment.
