doctor. Facts about skin cancer*:

one in 3 Caucasians will develop skin cancer
in the course of a lifetime.
- Skin cancer is the most
common of all cancers. It is also one of
the most curable when detected early.

protection.
- A person's risk for skin
cancer doubles if he or she has had five or
more sunburns.
