A cross-sectional analysis of skin cancer risk in patients receiving narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy: an evaluation of 100 patients
This study does not provide evidence for an increased skin cancer risk in patients treated with NB-UVB phototherapy. However, we have detected the occurence of 10 cases of solar lentigines. Still, definitive prospective longitudinal studies with a greater number of patients and prolonged follow-up are required to specifically address skin cancer risk in relation to NB-UVB phototherapy.
