Relationship between tanning beds and skin cancer risk

 Indoor tanning uses artificial UV radiation to promote cosmetic tanning of the skin. Indoor tanning was officially classified as a human carcinogen in 2009 by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer. Indoor tanning behaviors may have been driven by misconceptions such as attractive appearance, acne treatment, increased vitamin D, or that tanning is a healthy habit, which is strongly influenced by gender and age.

Current evidence on the use of tanning beds, trends in tanning beds, and the association between tanning beds and skin cancers such as cutaneous melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). It was investigated. Results consistently demonstrated a statistically significant increased risk of cutaneous melanoma, BCC, and cSCC from sunbed use. The risk of skin cancer was even higher with more sunbed use, with a clear dose-response relationship. A similar dose-response relationship was also confirmed for those who used sunbeds for the first time at a young age. Measures to curb sunbed use include legislation restricting sunbed use, educational campaigns, internet and online advertising messages, and social media to raise awareness of indoor tanning among more people.
