Provocative findings have been published suggesting that the use of sunscreens may promote skin cancer. A recent meeting of international experts on the use of sunscreens and skin cancer was held at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon. The workshop concluded that the topical use of sunscreens reduces the risk of sunburn and that sunscreens probably prevent squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin when used mainly during unintentional sun exposure. No conclusion could be drawn about the cancer-preventive activity of topical sunscreens against basal-cell carcinoma and cutaneous melanoma. The use of sunscreens can extend the duration of intentional sun exposure, such as sunbathing. Such an extension may increase the risk for cutaneous melanoma. The workshop warned against relying solely on sunscreens for protection from ultraviolet radiation.
一些引人深思的研究结果已发表，表明使用防晒霜可能会促进皮肤癌的发生。最近，关于防晒霜使用与皮肤癌的国际专家会议在里昂的国际癌症研究机构举行。研讨会得出结论，局部使用防晒霜可降低晒伤风险，并且当主要在无意暴露于阳光下时使用，防晒霜可能预防皮肤鳞状细胞癌。关于局部使用防晒霜对基底细胞癌和皮肤黑色素瘤的防癌活性，无法得出结论。使用防晒霜可以延长有意晒太阳（如日光浴）的时间。这种延长可能会增加皮肤黑色素瘤的风险。研讨会警告不要仅依赖防晒霜来抵御紫外线辐射。
