Sun Safety A lesson from Nurse Danielle

Skin Cancer Stats  Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States.  1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.  Approximately 75 % of skin cancer deaths are from melanoma.  Melanoma in children is extremely rare, but…from 1973 to 2009, the rate of melanoma increased by ~2% a year among Caucasian children from newborn to age 19 in the US.

Types of Skin Cancer  There are 3 types of skin cancer: 1. Basal Cell Carcinoma 2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma 3. Melanoma *MOST SERIOUS* (less common)

Melanoma  UV light is a major contributor from the sun, tanning beds and sun lamps.  More people are getting melanoma.  Melanoma is now the most common cancer among people years old.  TEENAGERS ARE GETTING Melanoma.  Research shows that indoor tanning increases a person’s melanoma risk by 75%.  Heredity plays a role.

The ABCDE’s of Melanoma:  Asymmetry: one half doesn’t match the other  Border: edges are not even  Color: changes in color and/or shade of color  Diameter: size gets larger or larger around than 6mm, which is the size of a pencil eraser  Evolution: changing over time
