To the Editor: I read with great interest the recent article by Song et al1 who showed that green tea may play a protective role from ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin damage and thus may be a therapeutically effective agent against sunburn. Since excessive exposure to the sun and frequent sunburns predispose to melanoma, one wonders if green tea can also protect against melanoma.
