A new study published in the online Journal Cancer said that men who are less or almost not exposed to sun are more likely to contract kidney cancer than men who are exposed to sun rays more often. The study further added that the percentage of those not contracting kidney cancers among the men who get work- related exposure to sun varies from 24 percent to 38 percent. No such associations were noticed in women.

Sara Karami, of the National Cancer Institute in Rockville said, "The findings suggest that sunlight exposure may affect kidney cancer risk, but the reason for the difference between men and women is a mystery".
