If you find any unusual lump, discharge or pain, it is time to get that appointment with your doctor. Over 40,000 new cases of skin cancer in Canada are detected each year. Fortunately most of these cancers can be cured if caught early. A mole-like growth, dark brown or mixed with other colours, which may itch or bleed, may be a sign of melanoma, a more serious form of skin cancer. See your doctor if you see these signs.
Men are at higher risk because they are more likely to work outdoors.
A bad sunburn at a young age increases the risk of later skin cancer. Often caused by smoking, including pipes or chewing tobacco. Blood in your urine is a sign that you need to see a doctor. If you don't get your doctor on your team in the first period, it is harder to beat Team Cancer in the third period. Protect yourself and your children from the sun.
