Conclusion
Surfers and swimmers had consistently higher rates of PSC, NMSC and MSC than the Australian general population. Point prevalence of MSC (groups combined) was 76-fold higher than the Australian general population. These findings highlight the clinical importance to regularly screen patients who surf or swim for early detection and treatment of skin cancer.
