Ethical analyses identify accountability, explanation fidelity, conflicts of interest, privacy, safety monitoring, and clinicianβpatient roles as major risks; implementation evidence remains system-specific.
The narrative review coherently links UV damage to skin carcinogenesis, but lacks a systematic search, original data, quantitative synthesis, and a reproducible risk-estimation method.
