Comment on "Gender-Based Differences and Barriers in Skin Protection Behaviors in Melanoma Survivors".

Abstract

In a recent published article in this journal, Chen and colleagues reported gender-based differences in skin protection behaviors among melanoma survivors [1]. This is a significant contribution to the growing literature in the area of skin cancer prevention among population groups at high risk for the development of future skin cancers. We would like to commend the authors for their research and build on their contributions by putting forth some practical implications.
