Melanoma Rates on the Rise in U.S.

January 9, 2009

THURSDAY, Jan. 8 (HealthDay News) — New cases of the deadly skin cancer melanoma are increasing among men and women in the United States, particularly among older men, researchers report.

Whether the increase in melanoma signals an epidemic is a matter of debate. However, the rate is increasing among all Americans and cannot be due to better screening alone, the researchers contend.

Great post. Thanks for educating people about melanoma. I just had a spot removed and the key was early detection and treatment. Got a clean path report on the removed area and had clear margins. Good job spreading awareness!!!

What are UV Skinz?

The company was established after Rhonda Sparks, the Founder and President, lost her husband to skin cancer when he was just 32 years old in 2001. This sparked Rhonda's passion to raise awareness and educate others about sun protection, but never losing sight of how valuable it is to PLAY and HAVE FUN outdoors!

UV Skinz sun protective swim shirts are stylish and carry a UPF rating of 50+, which blocks out over 98% of the sun’s harmful rays, protecting delicate skin from damaging sunburns.

Everyone should feel free in the sun wearing UV Skinz. Its UV protection never washes off and it won't leave you with sunblock all over your hands as your naked toddler runs down the hall!
