Title
This is a very confusing title - "Radiation cancer" - as it is only about various types of skin cancer that might be initiated by ionizing radiation. It makes no mention of the many different types of non-skin cancer that are associated with ionizing radiation exposure; neither does it mention the role of non-ionising radiation (ie UV) in the induction of skin cancer. It also gives the impression that these "radiation cancers" can be differentiated in some way from "normal" skin cancers.

It would be much better (or at least more accurate) to call this article something like "Skin cancer induction by ionizing radiation"
