Effect of Sunscreen Application on UV-Induced Thymine Dimers

1 Nov 2002

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Exposure to UV radiation is a major risk factor for skin cancer, including malignant melanoma. Photocarcinogenesis is caused largely by mutations at sites of incorrectly repaired DNA photoproducts, of which the most common is the thymine dimer. Over the past decade, controversy has arisen over the use of sunscreens to prevent UV-induced skin cancer. OBJECTIVES: To determine if daily application of a...
