Abstract
Keratinocyte cancers (KC) are the commonest malignancies in the UK population, with rates increasing annually. Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) has recently been reported to reduce the incidence of KC in high-risk patients. It is a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) which replenishes cellular energy levels and enhances efficient repair of ultraviolet light (UV) induced DNA damage within keratinocytes.
