Skin Cancer: A Looming Threat to Aussies – Are You at Risk?”

Australia, brace yourself – skin cancer is on the rise and it’s not something to take lightly.

With skin cancer being the most diagnosed cancer in the country, it’s time to take action. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports a staggering 63% increase in melanoma-related hospitalizations from 2002 to 2014. That’s not all – in 2016, 1,770 people lost their lives to melanoma in Australia. But don’t fret, there’s a silver lining.

The incidence of melanoma in people under 40 has decreased, and the five-year survival rate for those diagnosed with melanoma has increased to 90%. So, what can you do? Get checked early, often, and stay safe in the sun. Visit our Kildare Road Medical Skin Cancer Clinic for an appointment today.

Knowledge is power, and it could save your life.
