Skin cancer prevention: a review of current topical options complementary to sunscreens

Cet article passe en revue des composés (le nicotinamide, les polyphénols du thé vert, les enzymes de réparation de l’ADN, les rétinoïdes, les anti-inflammatoires, etc.) qui, en complément des produits de protection solaire, peuvent jouer un rôle protecteur contre les rayonnements nocifs de la lumière visible et des rayonnements en proche infrarouge

Résumé en anglais

The incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is dramatically increasing worldwide, despite the increased use of improved sunscreens. In 2014, the Surgeon General estimated that 2.2 to 5.0 million people were treated annually for NMSC. As the number of newly diagnosed skin cancers continues to rise, there is a need for additional preventative measures beyond sunscreens. Several newer topical products that focus on boosting DNA repair, modulating DNA transcription, decreasing inflammation, and selectively targeting precancerous cells may play an important role in future skin cancer prevention.
