“…SC is the most common malignancy [ 6 – 14 ]; and it increases dramatically, especially Melanoma [ 2 ], which has a faster growing incidence and a higher mortality rate than that of any other malignancy [ 15 ]. The underlying reasons for this increase were discussed in many studies that have confirmed the development of risk factors such as sun exposure; chronic and repeated in both BCC and SCC, while intense sun exposure and a history of sunburn was linked to melanoma [ 3 ].…”

“…that concluded to an overall low levels of knowledge about SCs especially melanoma [ 19 , 20 ]. Other few studies interested only in the relationship between the sun, the photoprotection and SCs were performed [ 21 – 26 ], or conducted on minorities and targeted populations like golfers [ 6 ]. Similarly to these studies, the sun was the factor the most incriminated in the etiopathogenesis of skin cancer in our study (74.3%), and 57.9% of the participants believed that it is important for the SC prevention using various measures especially sunscreens.…”

Skin cancer knowledge and attitudes in the region of Fez, Morocco: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundThe prevalence of skin cancers is constantly increasing in Morocco, and they have gradually become more aggressive due to a significant delay in the diagnosis. Our aim was to assess the levels of awareness and the influencing factors related to skin cancer knowledge in Morocco.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out in Morocco through the medium of a validated questionnaire, which contained several items – demographics, skin cancer knowledge and attitudes towards skin cancer patients– during a period of 1 year (2014).ResultsOut of the 700 participants enrolled in the study, 17.9% had never heard of skin cancer, 32.5% had a low score of skin cancer knowledge, 66.7% had a moderate score, and only 0.85% had a high score of skin cancer knowledge. Further, 15.1% of the participants were under the assumption that this cancer is contagious. The sun was the most incriminated risk factor in skin cancer occurrence by 74.3% of the participants, and 57.9% of them believed that prevention is important through using various means of photoprotection. After univariate and multivariate analysis, the influencing factors related to the skin cancer knowledge in Morocco were: the socioeconomic status (P = 0.003, OR = 7. 3) and the educational level (p < 0.001, OR = 20. 9).ConclusionsDue to the lack of knowledge or the underestimation of skin cancer in our study population, efforts are needed to promote skin cancer surveillance behaviors in Morocco.

“…We expanded our search for question 3 by evaluating studies from March 1986 through March 2019 utilizing the following criteria in PubMed: “skin cancer” risk AND sports. Using this query, we found 67 publications related to humans written in English, of which we included 2 additional relevant records [ 72 , 73 ]. For question 5, we specifically leveraged the work done by Richtig et al [ 64 ], Ambros-Rudolph et al [ 65 ], and Mahe et al [ 69 ].…”

Solar Ultraviolet Exposure in Individuals Who Perform Outdoor Sport Activities

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the USA. Therefore, it is important to review the contribution of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure to skin cancer in individuals with the highest risk. Documenting the relationship between outdoor sports solar ultraviolet exposure and their risk of skin cancer along with appropriate risk mitigation strategies can help inform clinicians of practical information for counseling sun protective behaviors in this population. Methods: We conducted a review of the current evidence using PubMed to answer the following research questions: (1) How is ultraviolet radiation measured? (2) What is the modern utility of the ultraviolet index in modifying recreational sun protection behaviors? (3) What is the risk of developing skin cancer for outdoor sport participants? (4) What is the prevalence of skin cancer in sport participants? and (5) Is the number of nevi and solar lentigines elevated in outdoor sport participants? Results: Based on the literature, individuals who practice outdoor sport-related activities receive high ultraviolet radiation exposure, have a high risk for skin cancer, have a high prevalence for pigmented lesions, and may benefit from electronic sun protection educational interventions. Conclusions: Individuals who practice outdoor sports experience substantially higher ultraviolet radiation exposure, routinely exceed the recommended exposure limits, and are at a higher risk of developing skin cancer. Therefore, those who are frequently engaged in outdoor leisure activities should be coached about efficient sun protective practices and relevant mobile technologies that may facilitate adherence.

“…This lack of knowledge could be a possible explanation for the growing trend of skin cancer in the Peruvian population (8). Studies conducted in adolescents and adults beachgoers in Spain have reported better levels of knowledge (15,16), which could be a reflection of the positive impact of the interventions and campaigns that have been carried out in that country (24,26,33).…”

“…In addition, beach seems to be an ideal setting for promoting adequate sunprotective behaviors (16). In this sense, prevention, detection and intervention campaigns related Manuscript to be reviewed to sun protection and skin cancer should be carried out, as they have shown satisfactory results in other studies (17,24,33,50).…”

Peer Review #1 of "Awareness, behavior and attitudes concerning sun exposure among beachgoers in the northern coast of Peru (v0.1)"

Background: Skin cancer incidence has increased over the last years, becoming a major public health problem. Objective: To describe the awareness, behavior and attitudes concerning sun exposure among beachgoers in the northern coast of Peru. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in the Pimentel beach, Peru. The "Beach Questionnaire" was used and we surveyed all the beachgoers from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from March 5 to March 19. For the statistical analysis, sun exposure habits, sunburns history, knowledge, attitudes and practices were crossed with sex using the chi2 test. Results: We surveyed 410 beachgoers, the most frequent phototype was type III (40.5%). Only the 13.66% of the respondents correctly answered the seven knowledge questions related to sun exposure and skin cancer. Men were more frequently agreed that "when they are tanned their clothes looks nicer" (p = 0.048). Likewise, regarding the questions "Sunbathing is relaxing" and "Sunbathing improves my mood", men agreed or totally agreed with more frequency than women (63.64% vs. 46.15%, p <0.001; and 61.36% vs 49.15%, p = 0.014, respectively). Regarding sun protection practices, women more frequently used sunshade (p = 0.001) and sunscreen (SPF≥15) (p <0.001) when compared to the male group. Conclusion: Sun exposure is a potentially preventable risk factor for skin cancer. Thus, awareness of the risks of UVR overexposure and adequate sun-protective behaviors and attitudes are essential. Our results, however, are not as favorable as expected. Public Health efforts should encourage sun-safety precautions and intervention campaigns should be carried out in recreational settings, such as the beaches.
