High altitude exposure and/or aviator status correlate significantly with cancerous conditions of the skin, testicles, bladder, and thyroid based upon a comprehensive literature review and survey of governmental sources. Other lesser significantly associated conditions include leukemia, lymphosarcoma, and Hodgkin's disease. Although radiation and sunlight are strongly associated with cancer incidence and risk at high altitudes, other intervening variables are discussed and critically reviewed using malignant melanoma of the skin as an example.
基于全面的文献综述和对政府资料来源的调查，高海拔暴露和/或飞行员身份与皮肤、睾丸、膀胱和甲状腺的癌症状况显著相关。其他关联程度较低的相关病症包括白血病、淋巴肉瘤和霍奇金病。尽管辐射和阳光与高海拔地区的癌症发病率和风险密切相关，但以皮肤恶性黑色素瘤为例，对其他干预变量进行了讨论和批判性审查。
