Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer worldwide, with its global incidence rising despite prevention efforts. Telomere length (TL) has emerged as a potential biomarker for cancer risk; however, its relationship with skin cancer risk remains incompletely understood. To explore the association between TL and the risk of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Longer TL was significantly associated with an increased risk in melanoma (pooled odds ratio: 0. 51; 95% confidence interval: 0. 38-0. 69; P
