Analyzing the cost of preventing nonmelanoma skin cancer
Abstract
In this issue, Gordon et al. report a novel study evaluating the cost-effectiveness of promoting sunscreen use to prevent actinic keratoses and nonmelanoma skin cancer. This cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) provides important data for health policy makers facing decisions regarding sunscreen education campaigns and sets the stage for future prevention-targeted CEAs.
