I only read the headline and not the article, so I'm not sure if this was mentioned. Would the main cause be from melanoma caused by UV? Melanoma rates in Australia went through the roof when we had that big ozone hole above our country.

The main suspected causes mentioned are poor diet, alcohol, tobacco, physical inactivity, and obesity
