The relative genetic and immune protection against melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers in those with vitiligo is reassuring. The results of recent studies allow us to be cautiously optimistic when discussing the risk of skin cancer caused by therapeutic exposure to narrow-band ultraviolet B light. However, we should continue to recommend sun protection at all other times to avoid burning in vitiliginous skin and to decrease incidental ultraviolet exposure. It is also important to perform full skin checks regularly in light of the prolonged courses of phototherapy required to repigment vitiliginous skin and maintain repigmentation thereafter.
白癜风患者对黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌具有相对的遗传和免疫保护作用，这令人安心。近期研究结果使我们在讨论窄谱中波紫外线光疗导致皮肤癌的风险时能够持谨慎乐观态度。然而，我们仍应继续建议在其他所有时间做好防晒措施，以避免白癜风皮肤晒伤，并减少偶然的紫外线暴露。鉴于使白癜风皮肤复色并在此后维持复色需要较长疗程的光疗，定期进行全面的皮肤检查也很重要。
