Skin cancer continues to be most common cancer in Nevada, U.S.
More people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in Nevada than all other cancers combined, according to the American Cancer Society. This year it’s estimated 800 Nevadans will be diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, and thousands more will be told they have basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas.
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and an opportunity for sun safety advocates and dermatologists to remind the community to take care of their skin.
