Cancer Research UK that the incidence of melanoma has increased by 45 per cent since 2004.
The latest figures show that the proportion of women has increased by more than a third (35 per cent) since the 1990s, by almost three fifths (55 per cent) for men and by 70 per cent for 25-49-year-olds. Despite these increases, melanoma remains the most common disease among people over 65.
The figures have been released to mark the charity's own rhythmic event, which encourages people to embrace natural skin tones and protect them from the sun.
Michelle Mitchell, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, warned that while it is often seen as a sign of good health, "there is no healthy tan, and in fact your body is trying to protect itself from harmful rays." In
, she continued, the statistics "highlight the importance of having our own rhythmic movements that encourage people to embrace natural skin tones and adopt sun protection behaviors."Melanoma skin cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UK and the second most common cancer among people aged 25-49, but Cancer Research UK says nearly 90 per cent of melanoma cases can be prevented if people are better able to care for their skin both indoors and outdoors. Tanning every two years triples the risk of melanoma skin cancer.
Fortunately, awareness of melanoma skin cancer is also increasing, which means more people are being diagnosed with the disease and treated. (cyy123.com)
