- One in six Americans will develop skin cancer during his or her lifetime. - Skin cancer now accounts for one-third of all cancers diagnosed in the United States each year. - Sun exposure is the cause of sixty-five percent of the cases of malignant melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. - Melanoma is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among American women ages twenty-five to twenty-nine and second most frequently diagnosed (after breast cancer) for women ages thirty to thirty-four.
That's the bad news. The good news is you don't have to give up having fun out of doors in order to safeguard your health. Safe in the Sun tells you everything you need to know to protect your skin and eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
