Sunscreen study for preventing skin damage in older adults with actinic keratoses
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new sunscreen (Anthelos Fluide 100 KA+ UVMune 400) to see if it can protect skin and prevent further sun damage in people who already have multiple actinic keratoses (precancerous spots). It may help reduce the risk of new spots or skin cancer.
