Abstract:
Melanoma represents the fifth most common cancer in Switzerland and its incidence is rising over the past decades. A new debate is going on about the efficacy of sunscreen against the risk of developing melanoma. Few studies have proven its efficacy with a significant risk of overexposure to sunlight due to the feeling of overprotection offered by those sunscreens. The role of the physician is to explain this risk and to integrate sunscreens among a wide range of other strategies existing in primary prevention of melanoma.
