And that's why we make such a big stink about the sun, because I can say, okay, I don't know what's going to happen to your skin, but at least I can control an outside insult that's coming in. That's too much UV. So I wouldn't put it as an F, though most of my colleagues would. I'd probably put it as a B, you know?

There's many forms of skin cancer. The three most common that we see in the world are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. It's what I've dedicated my career to treating as well as some of the rarer types. There's no evidence that sun protection, strict sun protection, decreases your likelihood from dying from metastatic melanoma or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.

In fact, the most lethal forms of these cancers arise in sun protected skin. the most lethal forms of squamous cell carcinomas don't even have the UV mutation signatures that we see in kind of more garden variety sun damaged skin cancers.

Now, it's not to say that sun doesn't cause them, but there's so many other factors that don't go into that category that I think saying sun avoidance means you will not get this is absolutely not true. In fact, most of my patients that

to these diseases, and I have a very unique practice, and I see the worst of the worst probably in Los Angeles, most of my patients, including my young patients that have very bad outcomes, they're not sun-related tumors.

Yeah, melanomas are historically been our most lethal form of skin cancer. Bob Marley died of it. Jimmy Carter famously survived. It was in his brain. The most common place that they show up is the back of men and the lower legs of women. Why do you think that is? There's genetic factors and genetic mutations that occur that partly are hereditary, partly sporadic, meaning they just they happen.
