Men continue to develop nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) at higher rates than women, but the epidemiologic pattern of NMSC development is evolving. We present a selective, narrative review of the literature showing that there is a trend toward a development of basal cell carcinomas in women at younger ages, and highlight potential causes of this trend. We review evidence that indoor tanning is associated with the development of NMSC and show that young women use indoor tanning more than any other age-sex group. We discuss societal factors that relate to the tanning behavior of young women. Finally, we argue that facial NMSCs may have more of a negative impact on quality of life in women than in men.
男性患非黑色素瘤皮肤癌（NMSC）的几率持续高于女性，但NMSC的发病流行病学模式正在演变。我们对文献进行了选择性的叙述性综述，结果表明女性患基底细胞癌的年龄有年轻化趋势，并强调了这一趋势的潜在原因。我们回顾了室内晒黑与NMSC发病相关的证据，并表明年轻女性比其他任何年龄-性别组使用室内晒黑的频率都更高。我们讨论了与年轻女性晒黑行为相关的社会因素。最后，我们认为面部NMSC对女性生活质量的负面影响可能比男性更大。
