But by and large, the best way to protect your skin is some sort of shield, whether it's clothing, hat, or some sort of cream that you put on. Now, for patients who are worried or for people who are worried about premature aging, they don't have a strong family history of skin cancer. They've never had one before themselves.

Then the approach to that is a little bit different than people who are worried about skin cancer development, strong family history of skin cancer. They're worried about losing a part of their ear or part of their nose to skin cancer development. And that's very different from medical conditions that are very sun sensitive. By and large, the

Patients who have medical conditions that are sun sensitive, the large one being lupus, for example, need the most sun protection because they are so inherently sensitive to UV exposure. Something that's very interesting.

We know without a doubt that every common skin cancer, there's many, many skin cancer types, but the three most common are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Those are the three most common ones we see. they have all been shown to have UV mutation signatures when we sequence the tumors.

However, in every single clinical trial, in every single randomized trial that looked at topical sunscreens as a means of reducing risk, there has not been a single study that showed any sort of risk reduction in the development of the most common skin cancer, which is basal cell carcinoma. One in four Americans will develop this.

Also, there hasn't been a single study to date that showed that diligent sunscreen use, topical sunscreens, will reduce disease-specific death or dying from skin cancer. So if you think Every skin cancer is sun-driven. There are UV mutation profiles in these tumors. Then by using sunscreen should reduce that, right? And it's not that clear. We don't understand fully the drivers of this.

So why I bring this up and why we talk about sunscreens and barriers to blockade first, topical sunscreens are not the only form. In fact, clothing and shields, shade and hat are, in my opinion, better. And a lot of studies suggest that they're better. There are oral supplements that can also protect your skin from burning and reduce your skin cancer risk.
