THE STUDY highlighted in this issue of the ARCHIVES1 indicates yet again the great potential value of cutaneous sunscreen application, when undertaken conscientiously and carefully, against the now extremely well-documented ravages of sunlight in both the short and long term. This splendid randomized controlled trial is the continuation of a previous one showing sunscreen efficacy against the development of squamous cell carcinoma.2 It provides further evidence in a very large number of adults (1621 subjects aged 25-74 years), over a reasonably long time (2 years), in a very ultraviolet (UV)-intense environment (Queensland, Australia), that frequent, liberal applications of high-protection sunscreen by ordinary people under normal circumstances is 25% more efficient against the development of potentially premalignant actinic keratoses than ad hoc applications. Less difference was seen over the subsequent and final 2 years of the study, arguably because of increased care in applying sunscreen regularly in the control group as . . .
