Free Skin Cancer Screenings In Boise Next Week
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and it just so happens that the first Monday in May is known as Melanoma Monday. Melanoma is the most serious and the most lethal form of skin cancer. Skin Cancer is the most preventable form of cancer with some pretty simple safety measures in place.
Last week as I was sitting in the over 37,000 seats at Albertson s Stadium for our Rise UP Against Child Abuse, I got scorched by the sun. It happened so fast, I really didn t even notice until the day was winding down. It was pretty funny and shocking as my skin got pretty crispy in just hours. Despite all the warnings I had no idea it could hit me so fast.
™ Campaign to Join the Pledge to Stop Melanoma Deaths
In honor of Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month, DermTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: DMTK) (“DermTech”), a leader in precision dermatology enabled by the non-invasive DermTech Smart Sticker
™ platform and its melanoma test, the Pigmented Lesion Assay or PLA, is launching the #Stickit2Melanoma campaign, urging the public to get proactive about skin exams. One in five Americans develop skin cancer by the age of 70, and every hour of every day one American dies from melanoma. It is not only one of the most common cancers diagnosed in the U.S., but also the deadliest of skin cancers. Yet, when diagnosed at a localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate for melanoma is 99%. Early detection saves lives, and just one annual screening can uncover issues beneath the skin’s surface at the most treatable stage.
