Using national survey data, Dr. Yeung and colleagues showed substantially higher risks of indoor tanning and other skin cancer risk factors among sexual minority men as compared with heterosexual men. They reviewed studies on higher keratinocyte carcinoma risks in older persons living with HIV and subgroups within sexual and gender minority populations, and rising burden of actinic keratosis in older persons overall.
