American Indians and Skin Cancer Did you know that more than one million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year and it is

estimated that 1 in every 5 people will be diagnosed with skin cancer during their lifetime According to

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention American IndiansAlaskan Natives have the highest death

rate from skin cancer among non-whites and the 2nd highest rate of melanoma diagnosis Alarmingly in the

last 20 years rates of skin cancer particularly melanoma have more than doubled among young adults

aged 18-39

What are the types of skin cancer

Basal and Squamous cell skin cancers are the most common skin cancers These lesions occur in areas that

are exposed to the sun such as the face ears neck lips and back of the hands If detected and treated early

these types of cancer have a 90 cure rate and rarely spread to other parts of the body Melanoma on the

other hand accounts for only a small percentage of skin cancer However it is far more lethal than basal and

squamous cell cancers In fact melanoma accounts for more than 75 of all skin cancer deaths and can

spread to other organs such as your liver and lungs

What are the risk factors for skin cancer

Unprotected or excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation or sunlight

Having a fair complexion

Family History of skin cancer

Work-related exposure to coal tar creosote arsenic compounds or radium

Having multiple or atypical moles and

Experiencing severe sunburn as a child

What are the signs of skin cancer

Common signs of skin cancer include any change in the size or color of a mole or darkly-pigmented growth New oozing bleeding

irritation or change in the appearance of a bump or skin nodule should also prompt concern Most skin cancers have very high cure

rates when they are caught early so check with your doctor immediately if you have any of these symptoms

The best way to reduce your risk is to avoid intense sun exposure and practice sun safety

Avoid the sun between 1000 AM and 400 PM

Wear protective clothing when out in the sun

Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher

Avoid indoor tanning

Apply generous amounts of sunscreen before you go outside and reapply frequently especially after swimming towel drying or

perspiring

Use sunglasses with 99 to 100 UV absorption to provide protection for the eyes and surrounding skin

It is important to follow these practices even on cloudy or overcast days as UV rays travel through the clouds

American Indians and Skin Cancer Did you know that more than one million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year and it is

estimated that 1 in every 5 people will be diagnosed with skin cancer during their lifetime According to

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention American IndiansAlaskan Natives have the highest death

rate from skin cancer among non-whites and the 2nd highest rate of melanoma diagnosis Alarmingly in the

last 20 years rates of skin cancer particularly melanoma have more than doubled among young adults

aged 18-39

What are the types of skin cancer

Basal and Squamous cell skin cancers are the most common skin cancers These lesions occur in areas that

are exposed to the sun such as the face ears neck lips and back of the hands If detected and treated early

these types of cancer have a 90 cure rate and rarely spread to other parts of the body Melanoma on the

other hand accounts for only a small percentage of skin cancer However it is far more lethal than basal and

squamous cell cancers In fact melanoma accounts for more than 75 of all skin cancer deaths and can

spread to other organs such as your liver and lungs

What are the risk factors for skin cancer

Unprotected or excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation or sunlight

Having a fair complexion

Family History of skin cancer

Work-related exposure to coal tar creosote arsenic compounds or radium

Having multiple or atypical moles and

Experiencing severe sunburn as a child

What are the signs of skin cancer

Common signs of skin cancer include any change in the size or color of a mole or darkly-pigmented growth New oozing bleeding

irritation or change in the appearance of a bump or skin nodule should also prompt concern Most skin cancers have very high cure

rates when they are caught early so check with your doctor immediately if you have any of these symptoms

The best way to reduce your risk is to avoid intense sun exposure and practice sun safety

Avoid the sun between 1000 AM and 400 PM

Wear protective clothing when out in the sun

Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher

Avoid indoor tanning

Apply generous amounts of sunscreen before you go outside and reapply frequently especially after swimming towel drying or

perspiring

Use sunglasses with 99 to 100 UV absorption to provide protection for the eyes and surrounding skin

It is important to follow these practices even on cloudy or overcast days as UV rays travel through the clouds

American Indians and Skin Cancer Did you know that more than one million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year and it is

estimated that 1 in every 5 people will be diagnosed with skin cancer during their lifetime According to

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention American IndiansAlaskan Natives have the highest death

rate from skin cancer among non-whites and the 2nd highest rate of melanoma diagnosis Alarmingly in the

last 20 years rates of skin cancer particularly melanoma have more than doubled among young adults

aged 18-39

What are the types of skin cancer

Basal and Squamous cell skin cancers are the most common skin cancers These lesions occur in areas that

are exposed to the sun such as the face ears neck lips and back of the hands If detected and treated early

these types of cancer have a 90 cure rate and rarely spread to other parts of the body Melanoma on the

other hand accounts for only a small percentage of skin cancer However it is far more lethal than basal and

squamous cell cancers In fact melanoma accounts for more than 75 of all skin cancer deaths and can

spread to other organs such as your liver and lungs

What are the risk factors for skin cancer

Unprotected or excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation or sunlight

Having a fair complexion

Family History of skin cancer

Work-related exposure to coal tar creosote arsenic compounds or radium

Having multiple or atypical moles and

Experiencing severe sunburn as a child

What are the signs of skin cancer

Common signs of skin cancer include any change in the size or color of a mole or darkly-pigmented growth New oozing bleeding

irritation or change in the appearance of a bump or skin nodule should also prompt concern Most skin cancers have very high cure

rates when they are caught early so check with your doctor immediately if you have any of these symptoms

The best way to reduce your risk is to avoid intense sun exposure and practice sun safety

Avoid the sun between 1000 AM and 400 PM

Wear protective clothing when out in the sun

Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher

Avoid indoor tanning

Apply generous amounts of sunscreen before you go outside and reapply frequently especially after swimming towel drying or

perspiring

Use sunglasses with 99 to 100 UV absorption to provide protection for the eyes and surrounding skin

It is important to follow these practices even on cloudy or overcast days as UV rays travel through the clouds
