Results showed that people with nonmelanoma skin cancer were at an increased risk of developing the deadly skin cancer melanoma, and that women with nonmelanoma skin cancer were at increased risk of lung cancer and breast cancer, according to the study. Common sites for metastases include the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, bones and brain. Melanoma tumors that have metastasized to other parts of the body are still considered melanoma. For example, melanoma found in the lungs is called metastatic melanoma of the lung or melanoma with lung metastases. Skin cancer is the out-of-control growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, the outermost skin layer, caused by unrepaired DNA damage that triggers mutations. These mutations lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. Hope this helps!

Answer:  The cancer of the skin metastasizes into the lymph joints (spreads), and they run everywhere in the body, dropping bad cells when they go. the lungs are super vascular (carry a lot of blood flow), and so is the organ. Therefore, they are favorite places for the cancer cells to end up and grow.

What is an effect of adaptive radiation?
Semenov [28]
I'd have to say it'd be the dramatic increase in the diversity of the population gene pool.The increased diversity can lead, in time, to a dramatic increase in the number of distinct species in an environment.
