@TraderMick_ @spilkommen @CaulfieldTim There is definitely an association between the use of modern sunscreens and skin cancer, but the latter is the cause. We saw a rapid rise in melanoma in people related to increased UV exposure (and ozone layer loss) beginning many decades ago. https://t.co/PjL3b6JutF

Etter dagens tal frå kreftregisteret om kraftig auke i melanom er det kanskje greit å minne om denne noko kontroversielle artikkelen. Sannsynleg er betydeleg auke i diagnostikk (overdiagnostikk?) ein viktig faktor. https://t.co/uFjfGTuIFu

If you follow seed oil alarmists, definitely unfollow. This guy has no idea what he doesn’t know. Melanoma epidemiology is complicated. We diagnose 6X the amount of melanoma per capita these days, but more people are not dying from melanoma https://t.co/96LmzvqwOR https://t.co/4kjbU18Yeu

USA. "The incidence of #melanoma of the skin is 6 times as high as it was 40 years ago; mortality has stayed low". Melanoma, una "epidemia silenciosa de cáncer" que conviene siga silenciada (sin diagnósticos inoportunos, ciertos pero muy innecesarios). https://t.co/1Qq0yJrmZL

Excellent piece of work. A bold and courageous paper by the authors addressing 'elephant in the room-OVERDIAGNOSIS' The authors have addressed the science, epidemiology, and economical aspect of melanoma overdiagnosis in one single paper. https://t.co/L2EF9wKK20 https://t.co/TkANHcHoOV

Why are we seeing a massive spike in melanoma diagnoses—with no change in mortality? In a piece for @NEJM, UTHA Dermatologist, @AdeAdamson says it might be the result of too much screening of low-risk patients, which may do more harm than good: https://t.co/1368xmC2Op https://t.co/FVhgq2RTn1
