Executive Director’s Reportby Becky Mansfield, Executive Director

(DENVER) – Gov. Bill Owens joinedprominent dermatologists today inurging Coloradans to take propermeasures to protect against overexpo-sure to the sun.
“Every year in Colorado, about700 invasive melanomas are diag-nosed and about 120 people die of thedisease. Given how treatable thiscancer is in its early stages, this istragic. With early detection and treat-ment, even the most dangerous formsof skin cancer are curable,” saidOwens.
Dr. Greg Papadeas, a local derma-tologist and past president of theColorado Dermatologic Society,emphasized that Coloradans are atincreased risk for skin cancer.
“In Colorado, the sun shines over300 days a year. We’re also at very
high altitude, which means that we areexposed to more ultraviolet rays.What’s more, we are a very recreation-oriented state. All of these factorscontribute to the high incidence of skincancer in Colorado,” Papadeas said.
Skin cancer is the most commonform of cancer. Incidence rates formelanoma, the most serious andpotentially deadly form of skin cancer,are significantly higher in Coloradothan in the U.S. as a whole. TheColorado Department of Public Healthand Environment reported that themelanoma incidence rate amongColorado men was 38 percent higherthan the national rate, and forColorado women, 46 percent higher.
Gov. Owens signed a proclama-tion to kick off Skin Cancer Detectionand Prevention Month. Also in atten-
dance were Dr. Rene Gonzalez,Director of the Skin Cancer ResearchClinic at the University of Coloradoand Dr. James Fitzpatrick, ViceChairman of the Department ofDermatology at the University ofColorado, and Mary K. Lowe, amelanoma survivor.
