Cancer is not a known result of ozone exposure.
Loss of ozone protection is known to allow UV-B to arrive at Earth's surface, which can cause skin cancer.
Ozone is exposure is known to produce Asthma responses. Ozone exposure is suspected in the abnormal protein folding that leads to certain type of Alzheimer's disease. But ozone is produced by white blood cells to fight off infection also...
What else can I help you with?
What Filter cancer causing rays from the sun?
The ozone present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere filters our cancer causing rays from the sun. This ozone is present in the form of ozone layer.
What are the effects of ozone on the skin?

Why is the stratospheric ozone good?
Ozone blocks ultraviolet light, which can cause skin cancer.
How does ozone depletion affect organisms?
The ozone layer protects animals from cancer, mutation, loss of food, loss of natural habitat.
What will happen if the ozone hole is not fix?

What are the health effects of ozone?
The health effects of ozone layer are:Retina lossSuppression of immune systemSkin cancer.
What effects does ozone depletion have?
The ozone depletion causes skin cancer. It also causes eye cataract.
How would you expect the thinning of the ozone layer to affect skin cancer rates?
The Ozone layer helps filter harmful rays from the sun. Less Ozone = Less filter = Higher cancer risk I'm only guessing on this part, but the ozone filters gamma rays and uv rays
Will the thinning of the ozone layer of the upper atmosphere result in increased incidence of skin cancer?
Yes, it will lead it. Ozone depletion causes UV to enter. These cause skin cancer.
