Review Meta AnalysisThe association of indoor tanning and melanoma in adults: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Tanning beds are associated with increased risk of melanoma. ⋯ Using tanning beds is associated with a subsequent melanoma diagnosis. Exposure from more than 10 tanning sessions is most strongly associated and there was no statistically significant difference in this association before and after 2000, suggesting that newer tanning technology is not safer than older models.
