Blind to the Burn: Misconceptions About Skin Cancer Risk in the U.S.
FAU Researchers Investigate Skin Cancer Risk Perceptions and Sun-Protective Behaviors in Adults
BOCA RATON – March 12, 2025 – Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and a significant health issue, with millions of non-melanoma cases and tens of thousands of melanomas diagnosed annually. Furthermore, treating skin cancer costs the U.S. approximately $8.9 billion annually.
Those with fair skin, a history of sun exposure or tanning bed use, and a genetic predisposition, are at higher risk. Key barriers to prevention include a lack of awareness, cultural preferences for tanned skin, and limited access to sun protection.
A study by researchers at Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine is one of a few to explore associations between reported number of sunburns and sociodemographic characteristics, in addition to examining prevalence of protective skin behaviors adopted by the U.S. adult population in a nationally representative sample. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, experiencing five or more blistering sunburns between ages 15 and 20 increases one’s melanoma risk by 80% and nonmelanoma skin cancer risk by 68%.

NIH – Tecovirimat is safe but ineffective as treatment for clade II mpox
NIH-sponsored trial data offer further evidence to help inform mpox treatment decisions.
March 12, 2025- The antiviral drug tecovirimat used without other antivirals did not reduce the time to clinical resolution of clade II mpox lesions or improve pain control among adults in an international clinical trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The trial enrollment was stopped in late 2024 when an interim analysis showed that tecovirimat monotherapy was ineffective in the study population. Detailed results were presented at the 2025 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in San Francisco.
“This study brought us a step forward in better understanding mpox disease and potential treatment strategies,” said Jeanne Marrazzo, M.D., M.P.H., director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which sponsored and funded the trial. “We are grateful to the study team and participants for their contributions to groundbreaking research on a disease that we still do not know enough about.”
