TL;DR: Cutaneous squamous- cell carcinoma, but not basal-cell carcinoma seems to be amenable to prevention through the routine use of sunscreen by adults for 4.5 years, and there was no beneficial or harmful effect on the rates of either type of skin cancer, as a result of betacarotene supplementation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the melanoma association with MC1R gene variants has been confirmed with red hair and fair skin color, moreover skin ultraviolet sensitivity and a strong association with melanoma has been demonstrated for three variant alleles that are active in influencing pigmentation: Arg151Cys, Arg160Trp, and Asp294His.

TL;DR: The association persisted, confirming that presence of at least one variant allele remains informative in terms of predicting risk for developing a solar-induced skin lesion beyond that information wained through observation of pigmentation phenotype.

TL;DR: Investigation of the association between EV‐HPV DNA in hairs plucked from eyebrows and the occurrence of non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in a community‐based study found non‐significant negative associations between EV­HPV and NMSC.

TL;DR: Differences in occupational sun exposure and smoking histories could not explain the apparently different associations between epidermodysplasia-verruciformis-associated human papillomavirus infection and solar keratoses in men and women.
