Banning under 18 sunbed use without other complementary measures such as targeted public education and awareness campaigns may be ineffective in reducing teen sunbed use, according to this recent Irish study.
According to this recent study, online patient resources related to sentinel lymph node biopsy have poor readability and should undergo ongoing evaluation to make them more accessible and comprehensible to a broader audience.
Sun protection interventions for children at elevated familial risk for melanoma could provide families with specific strategies to address common barriers to implementing child sun protection, according to this recent study.
This recent study summarises epidemiological evidence of the carcinogenicity of sunbed use and the efficacy of preventative measures to reduce harm. It recommends strengthening efforts to agree on common legal regulations for sunbed use (including the possibility of a total ban of sunbeds).
This systematic review of over 20 years of research shows more work is needed to help the public understand and use the UVI properly. Awareness of the UVI varies widely across countries, and comprehension and use of the UVI to inform sun safety behaviors are uncommon.

Partial biopsy (particularly shave biopsy) can provide sufficient information to plan for definitive surgical melanoma management, according to this recent study.
This recent study presents the first public melanoma classification benchmark for both non-dermoscopic and dermoscopic images for comparing artificial intelligence algorithms with diagnostic performance of 145 or 157 dermatologists.
Sun‐protection programmes using new technologies seem to have great potential to increase sun‐related knowledge and sun protection behaviours, according to this recent literature review on keratinocyte carcinoma.
Upper limb isolated limb infusion is safe to perform and effective, resulting in low limb toxicity, based on this recent Australian study.
