A rare inherited disorder, Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a photosensitive condition characterized by high susceptibility to skin cancers. XP follows the autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.

Exposure to solar light is important in skin photoaging and in the development of basal and squamous cell carcinomas (BCC and SCC), the prevailing types of human cancers (Kraemer, 1997; DePinho, 2000) ...
