Beyond Slip, Slop, Slap, and Wrap: Vitamin B3 for Skin Cancer Prevention

“Slip! Slop! Slap! And Wrap!®”, the slogan created by the American Cancer Society is a catchphrase intended to attract the public’s attention, raise awareness of the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and promote prevention against skin cancer. Despite public awareness campaigns, the incident of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), including both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), continues to climb — quite rapidly. They are the most common cancers in the United States. Given the significant and growing morbidity, mortality, and economic burden ofNMSC, finding effective preventative measures are of great interest.
