Biofrontera Inc. Sponsors The Sun Bus, Delivering Free Mobile Skin Cancer Screenings Across the U.S.

WOBURN, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2023 / Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq:BFRI) ("Biofrontera" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the commercialization of dermatologic products, announces its sponsorship of The Sun Bus, a mobile classroom and clinic bringing free skin cancer screenings and public education to communities across the U.S.

The 2023 tour kicked off in March in Colorado and continues through November with stops in Texas, Missouri, Iowa, Wyoming and Arizona. The Sun Bus works with local volunteer dermatology providers and educators at each stop - which includes workplaces, community events and festivals - to provide skin cancer screenings, sun safety education and free sunscreen samples.

"We are proud to partner with Biofrontera as their financial support enables us to bring crucial medical services to those who need it most," said Tamara Terzian, PhD, Executive Director at The Sun Bus. "With their sponsorship, we are driving forward towards a brighter future, ensuring that The Sun Bus continues to be a beacon of hope and health for communities in need."

"Although skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., it also is one of the most preventable with regular screening. At Biofrontera, we're committed to improving the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK) lesions, which are premalignant but may lead to squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. We're proud to partner with The Sun Bus as we strive to increase awareness of our trusted brand among more dermatologists and patients, and underscore the importance of early screening and preventive actions," said Hermann Luebbert, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Biofrontera.

"We have provided free screenings to more than 5,000 people over the past three years and found more than 700 AKs, 130 suspected squamous cell carcinomas and 300 other suspected skin cancers. It is clear that The Sun Bus is providing a vital service to those in our community who are concerned about something growing on their skin," added Karen Nern, MD, MBA, a board-certified dermatologist and Medical Director of The Sun Bus.
