Sunscreen shields important anti-cancer gene
Researchers who conducted the world's first study to assess the molecular impact of sunscreen found it offers 100% protection against all three types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. In the study published in the journal Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, researchers found sunscreen prevents damage to a key anti-cancer gene known as p53.
