Warmer Temperatures Are More Predictive Than Solar Radiation for the Number of Skin Cancer Removal Procedures

More days above 24°C was a better predictor of skin cancer removals than GHI for all skin locations and less sun-exposed skin, suggesting that the behavioral changes occurring at warmer temperatures are more predictive of skin cancer removals than solar irradiance. Due to rising global temperatures, skin cancer incidence may further increase. Temperature-related behavioral changes represent a potential target for skin cancer prevention efforts.

Abstract

More days above 24°C was a better predictor of skin cancer removals than GHI for all skin locations and less sun-exposed skin, suggesting that the behavioral changes occurring at warmer temperatures are more predictive of skin cancer removals than solar irradiance. Due to rising global temperatures, skin cancer incidence may further increase. Temperature-related behavioral changes represent a potential target for skin cancer prevention efforts.
