Skin cancer awareness

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer.

It’s also one of the most preventable.

In 2011, it is estimated that there will be 79,700 new cases of skin cancer diagnosed in Canada.

This summer, the Canadian Cancer Society will be promoting skin cancer awareness throughout Saskatchewan, with the kickoff on June 6. This date marks the start of National Sun Awareness Week, a public awareness and education campaign sponsored annually by the Canadian Dermatology Association in an effort to reduce the incidence of skin cancer in Canada. This year’s campaign focuses on safe fun in the sun.
