Abstract
Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the most widely diagnosed cancer in the United States,
is rising in incidence despite public health and educational campaigns that highlight
the importance of sun avoidance. It is,therefore, important to establish other modifiable
risk factors that may be contributing to this increase. There is a growing body of
evidence in the literature suggesting certain nutrients may have protective or harmful
effects on NMSC. We review the current literature on nutrition and its effect on NMSC
with a focus on dietary fat, vitamin A, nicotinamide, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D,
vitamin E, polyphenols, and selenium.
