SKIN CANCER

Malignant growths on the skin are something to watch out for. The most common skin cancers are melanoma (which you can get from being out in the sun's UV rays for extended periods of time), and basal cell cancer. Tumors are clearly visible on the skin, because it generally forms on the outer layer of skin. Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the most often treated. Only a small percentage of people die from this disease. With approximately 2,300 deaths per year, this deadly cancer is still nothing to joke about.
