Abstract
In order to contribute to the studies on the relation between climate and health, this article aims to spatialize the number of hospitalizations due to skin cancer in Brazil during the period from 2008 to 2018, highlighting major environmental and social factors for the occurrence of medical records. Through bibliographical analysis, databases research and production of maps, results show that the Southern states of Brazil are among the five states that presented the highest number of hospitalizations. Risk factors for the development of skin cancer may be associated with the physical environment, as well as be inherited and/or represent habits or customs related to a given social and cultural environment. However, the biggest environmental risk factor consists of photobiological reactions that different lengths of ultraviolet waves, emitted in the solar radiation process, produce in contact with human skin within a history of exposure with UVB radiation being the most aggressive among existing ones.
