Background/objectives: The global incidence of skin cancer is rising, creating a need to strengthen prevention strategies. In this review, we examine the contributions of public health, dermatology, behavioural science, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and bioinformatics, which have collectively shaped prevention in recent decades.Methods: Using a narrative scoping review approach guided by the PRISMA-ScR framework, we synthesised research across these disciplines to highlight their roles in enhancing skin cancer prevention.Results: Initial efforts focused on increasing public knowledge through sun protection campaigns and symptom recognition. Dermatologists enhanced early detection through refined techniques and clinical guidelines. Initiatives such as Euromelanoma enabled broader collaboration and population-level screening. As more disciplines joined, advances in risk stratification, digital imaging, artificial intelligence, molecular and genetic diagnostics and bioinformatics became possible. Beyond skin cancer prevention, these tools may have additional applications for systemic health issues. However, a number of challenges remain, particularly regarding data privacy concerns, cost-effectiveness, equitable access, and the validation of artificial intelligence tools in diverse populations.Conclusions: The prevention of skin cancer brings together knowledge spanning the fields of public health and dermatology to behavioural research and digital innovation. Working together, these disciplines have improved early detection and awareness. However, fragmented collaboration across regions throughout the world continue to limit their impact. Improved equity alongside stronger, more coordinated partnerships will be essential for the next phase of progress.
背景/目的：全球皮肤癌发病率持续上升，亟需加强预防策略。本综述系统探讨了公共卫生、皮肤病学、行为科学以及人工智能与生物信息学等新兴技术领域对皮肤癌预防的贡献，这些学科在过去数十年间共同塑造了预防体系的发展路径。 方法：采用叙述性范围综述方法，遵循PRISMA-ScR框架，整合多学科研究以阐明各领域在提升皮肤癌预防效果中的作用。 结果：早期预防工作主要通过防晒宣传和症状识别提升公众认知。皮肤病学领域通过精进诊疗技术和临床指南强化了早期检测能力。欧洲皮肤癌筛查计划等倡议促进了更广泛的跨领域合作与人群级筛查。随着多学科融合深入，风险分层、数字影像、人工智能、分子遗传诊断及生物信息学等领域取得突破性进展。这些技术除皮肤癌预防外，在系统性健康问题中亦展现出应用潜力。然而当前仍面临诸多挑战，特别是数据隐私保护、成本效益、公平可及性以及人工智能工具在不同人群中的验证等问题。 结论：皮肤癌预防融合了从公共卫生、皮肤病学到行为研究与数字创新的跨学科知识体系。多领域协作已显著提升早期检测能力与公众意识，但全球范围内的合作碎片化仍制约着防控成效。未来需通过提升公平性与建立更强有力的协调合作机制，共同推动下一阶段的防控进展。
