Skin Cancer Awareness Month: Early detection saves lives
NEW YORK – Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world, but there is good news: It’s also the cancer you can see on your body. By learning to recognize the warning signs of the disease, you can identify suspicious spots before they become dangerous. Most skin cancers are highly treatable when diagnosed at an early stage, but if left to grow, they can become disfiguring or even deadly. This is why the early detection of skin cancer is so important – it can save your life or the life of a loved one. 05/10/2023 12:00 AM
