Robinson et al. report a population-based case-control study to examine the association between a history of photosensitizing medication use and non-melanoma skin cancer. They report an increased risk of basal cell carcinoma with tetracycline use and of squamous cell carcinoma with diuretic use. Appropriate counseling regarding sun exposure may reduce skin cancer in patients exposed to these medications.
罗宾逊等人报告了一项基于人群的病例对照研究,以检验光敏药物使用史与非黑素瘤皮肤癌之间的关联。他们报告称,使用四环素会增加基底细胞癌的风险,使用利尿剂会增加鳞状细胞癌的风险。对于接触这些药物的患者,进行适当的关于阳光暴露的咨询可能会降低皮肤癌的风险。
