Rates of melanoma are rising faster than any other cancer in Britain. Why is that?
Is it because there is still a genuine lack of awareness regarding the dangers of UV radiation and how to enjoy the sun safely?
Is it because people still love to get a tan, despite the potential consequences?
Is it because people think ‘It won’t happen to me’?
Is it because we are seeing the aftermath of a lack of knowledge and sun safe behaviours from a generation where the damage is already done?
Is it because of sunbed use?
Is it because people think - “It’s Just Skin Cancer”?
Your comments and thoughts are welcomed!
Our guess is that it’s a combination of all of the above.
That’s why we are dedicated to the prevention and early detection of skin cancer through educational intervention on a national scale.
There’s much work to be done, but WE ARE making a difference and WE ARE saving lives.
