    Sammanfattning : In western societies, skin cancer incidence has increased dramatically over recent decades, due predominantly to increased sun exposure habits. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and individual light sensitivity of the skin constitute two important factors affecting the risk for skin cancer development. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Skin cancer is an emerging public health problem in Sweden. Even though the most important risk factor for the development of skin cancer - sun exposure - is known, the incidence of skin cancer is still increasing.

    Sammanfattning : The rising incidence of skin cancer globally makes it important to emphasize preventive measures that promote sun protection, particularly among individuals with phenotypic predisposition and/or risky sun habits. Actinic keratosis (AK) is the predominant actinic lesion observed in fair-skinned populations, recognized as a sign of actinic skin damage and as an occasional precursor to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
