Save Your Skin
Nearly 5 million people are treated for skin cancer each year in the U.S. Everyone – no matter their age, whatever their skin color – is at risk for skin cancer. Whether we’re having fun or putting in a hard day’s work, spending time outdoors can expose us to the dark side of the sun. The bright side is, that while skin cancer is the most common, it’s also one of the most treatable. The key is knowing it when you see it to help with early diagnosis and treatment. Or, better yet, preventing it in the first place. For more information on cancer, read this flyer.

Most skin cancers are preventable
Skin cancer is the most common form of all cancer in the United States. Despite repeated warnings about the dangers of sun exposure, skin cancer – particularly melanoma, the deadliest form – continues to take the lives of too many loved ones. Many of the more than 5 million skin cancer cases diagnosed annually could be prevented by protecting the skin from extended sun exposure. People with light skin who burn easily face the greatest risk; however, skin cancer affects people of all races, skin colors, and ages. Early detection is the key to effective treatment and, in some cases, maybe the difference between life and death.
