May is Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month
With over 5 million cases diagnosed in the United States each year, skin cancer is America’s most common cancer. Fortunately, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer. About 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers and 85 percent of melanoma cases are associated with exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
We can’t do this work alone. Skin Cancer Awareness Month is a time for us to speak up about the dangers of skin cancer, share the facts and help save lives. There are so many ways for you to get involved!
