Sunscreens prevent sunburn. They have also been proven to be somewhat effective in preventing squamous cell carcinoma (1). However, both the most numerous (basal cell carcinoma) and the most deadly (melanoma) skin cancers have little evidence for efficacy of sunscreens. Therefore, using sunscreens as an approach to skin cancer prevention for basal cell carcinoma or cutaneous malignant melanoma ...

Assess UV risk 2. Assess sunscreen use 3. Explore barriers to using sunscreen 4. Facilitate patient generated solutions to barriers 5. Assess/discuss use o...

Evidence-Based Answer Daily sunscreen use reduces the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma but not the incidence of basal cell carcinoma. (Strength of Recommendation [SOR]: B, based on a single randomized controlled trial with less than 13 years of follow-up). It is unclear whether there are longer-term effects. There is no consistent, conclusive evidence that sunscreen use prevents melanoma. (...
