Skin Cancer in Men & Women
Skin cancer is a disease that affects both men and women. It is the most common type of cancer in the United States, with more than 3.3 million cases diagnosed annually. Skin cancer can be caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and other sources, such as tanning beds. It is important to take measures to protect your skin, such as using sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure. Early detection is key to successful treatment and prevention of skin cancer. Regular self-examinations and visits to your doctor can help to identify changes or lesions that may be cancerous. If you experience any concerning symptoms, such as a sore that doesn’t heal or changes to a mole, see your doctor right away.
