Skin Cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and usually occurs
in fair-skinned individuals who have been exposed to the sun, x-rays, or ultraviolet
(UV) light for prolonged periods.
Skin cancers affect approximately 600,000 Caucasians every year.
 The
principal cause of skin cancer -- almost universally accepted by medical experts
-- is overexposure to sunlight, especially when it results in sunburn and blistering.
Avoiding sun overexposure is the best defense against skin cancer.
And, catching problems early, provides a better chance for successful treatment.
