What are the key factors contributing to the significant increase in malignant melanoma cases in Rheinland-Pfalz?

The increase in malignant melanoma cases in Rheinland-Pfalz is attributed to the long-standing beauty ideal of tanned skin and the boom in solariums during the 1980s and 1990s. UV radiation from the sun or solariums and sunburns increase skin cancer risk, especially in children and adolescents.
