Our series Cancer Prevention - Cancer Control continues to address
the causes and prevention of cancer. In this volume, Hill, Elwood,
and English bring together a rich resource summarizing the state of
science underpinning the primary prevention of skin cancer. While
skin cancer causes an increasing burden, particularly in
populations of European origin, our understanding of the role of
sun exposure together with the genetic components of skin cancer
continues to grow. Given the emphasis on evidence-based medicine
and public health prevention efforts, it is noteworthy that,
although we can all access the same evidence base, countries around
the world have had remarkably different responses to the
application of this knowledge to prevent skin cancer. The
outstanding contribution of the Australian public health community
to the scientific understanding of skin cancer etiology and the
translation of this knowledge into national prevention efforts
uniquely positions the editors to compile this volume focused on
the primary prevention of skin cancer. In so doing they draw on an
international team of authors to present a "state of the science"
summary of skin cancer prevention and to identify those areas where
uncertainty remains. To achieve successful prevention of cancer we
must translate our scientific knowledge base into effective
prevention programs. This book offers the reader keen insights into
the depth of our understanding of etiologic pathways for skin
cancer. This etiologic science base is complemented by rigorous
prevention science placing emphasis on the social context for
effective and sustained prevention efforts.
