Early detection and being sun smart are the best protection against skin cancers. The majority of skin cancers can be successfully treated if caught and diagnosed early.
With the longer days of summer quickly upon us, more people will be in the sun soaking up potentially harmful UV rays. When people begin to venture outside more often and for longer periods of time, it is important to be sun smart and remember that skin cancer is a serious risk, especially in Arizona. Arizona has the second-highest incidence of skin cancers in the world.
The Cancer Centers of Northern Arizona Healthcare, located in Sedona and Flagstaff, are devoted to the comprehensive treatment and early diagnosis of cancer through advanced technology and individualized care. For more information, visit CCNAH.com.
