Impact of intervention strategies to reduce UVR exposure

  • Chapter
Prevention of Skin Cancer

Part of the book series: Cancer Prevention — Cancer Causes ((CPCC,volume 3))

Abstract

It has been well documented in this book and elsewhere that skin cancer is a significant and, in many parts of the world, growing health problem (see Chapters 1 and 5) [1]. While skin cancer is among the most common cancers, it is also one of the most preventable. Behavioral recommendations for primary prevention of skin cancer aim to reduce exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The most often recommended behavioral strategies for reducing UVR exposure include: limit time spent in the sun, avoid the sun during peak hours, use a broad spectrum sunscreen when outside, wear protective clothing (hats, shirts, pants) and sunglasses, seek shade when outdoors, and avoid sunburn (Chapter 13).
