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.
