O.K. this is going to anger everyone. Please realize I was trained in Disaster Response by the United State Air force. One of the many types of disasters we respond to is radiation (mostly after crash's).
Having said that: Yes UV exposure can and will cause cancer. It depends of length of time and amount of exposure over a period of years. Personally I would never us an UV lamp for any reason. The amount of chemicals and radiation exposure I have been subjected to (even with hazmat suits) of course has been accumulative over the years. Ladies Radiation is accumulative (you don't get rid of it after being exposed - you add after each exposure). Using just the nail UV lamp should not be a problem unless you have used it weekly for a good deal of time (say 5 years). This is very different than say the booth's at tanning salons.
