The Preventive Value of Sun Protection.

The evidence from published controlled and randomised controlled studies is limited. Especially for basal cell carcinoma, further high-quality studies including young populations are required to investigate possible protective effects of modern broad-spectrum sunscreens. The results of this systematic review do not change the current recommendations for UV protection. Sunscreens are recommended as a second-line measure against solar radiation whenever protective clothing and seeking shake are inadequate.
