Drucker AM, et al. - Researchers examined whether health care screening practices are associated with skin cancer risk via performing this cohort study of 117,492 individuals from the Nurses’ Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Observations revealed an increased diagnosis of skin cancer, particularly basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, in correlation with health care screening practices, including physical examinations performed by a physician. Knowledge regarding this association is mandatory for the clinicians. Where appropriate and possible, they should perform condition analyses of skin cancer risk on measures of health care use, including screening, to address confounding associated with detection bias.
