Know your skin: Be smart about skin cancer
More people die of melanoma per year in the UK than in Australia. Yet 86% of cases of melanoma are preventable and increasing numbers of people are being diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer. There are now more than 16,700 new cases each year in the UK.
We want to encourage everyone to be sun-safe and to find out more about sunscreens and skin safety. We are encouraging anyone who has noticed changes in their moles or lesions to contact their GP. Many of these moles or lesions do NOT end up being anything serious, however, it is always important to be diagnosed early as early stage melanomas are generally curable.
