Abstract
Sunscreens were primarily designed to prevent sunburn.1 Epidemiologic studies have shown that people with a history of sunburn are at greater risk of developing cutaneous melanoma. Because sunscreen use delays the occurrence of sunburn, and also delays the onset of a variety of other ultraviolet-induced skin lesions,2 these product shave been advocated for the prevention of skin cancer. It is generally assumed that the greater the ability of a sunscreen to delay sunburn, denoted by its sun protection factor (SPF), the greater its protection against melanoma.
