UK experts urge ban on sunbeds to reduce skin cancer, especially among young women.
UK cancer experts are urging an immediate ban on commercial sunbeds, citing strong evidence that they increase the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, especially among young adults and women.
A new analysis in The BMJ finds current regulations are ineffective, particularly in curbing use among teenagers and Gen Z, despite a 2009 international classification of sunbed UV radiation as carcinogenic.
The study notes a geographic correlation between high sunbed density—especially in northern England—and elevated melanoma rates in people aged 25 to 49, with two-thirds of cases occurring in women.
Experts say a total ban, combined with public education, would be the most cost-effective way to reduce cancer cases, save lives, and ease pressure on the NHS.
