A controlled trial was undertaken from December 1987 to December 1990 to test the hypothesis that a strong sunscreen can reduce the number of cancerous and precancerous skin lesions. Candidates were selected from a high-risk population attending either a university- or Veterans Affairs-based dermatology practice in Lubbock, Tex, for a prospective, double-blind, controlled trial of daily application of sunscreen vs placebo over a 2-year period. Participants were asked to volunteer if they had demonstrated premalignant changes (actinic keratoses) or nonmelanoma skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma), had continuing sun exposure, and were not using sunscreen on a regular basis. Fifty-three volunteers were initially enrolled in the study, and 37 came for the final 24-month visit.
