Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers.
Estimates vary on its occurrence but it is estimated that approximately 700,000 Americans develop skin cancer every year. Sun avoidance is the best defense against skin cancer. The principal cause of skin cancer is almost universally accepted by medical experts to be overexposure to sunlight, especially when it results in sunburn and blistering. When in the sun, wear clothing to protect as much skin as possible. Choose long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
