Exposure to ultraviolet light is the most preventable risk factor for skin cancer. Not only is skin cancer preventable, it is highly treatable when caught early. Because the signs of skin cancer are visible on the surface, you just need to call your doctor when you see something unusual, growing, or changing on your skin. The five-year survival rate for people whose melanoma is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes is 98 percent. Yet, sadly, one American dies from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, almost every hour.
A world without skin cancer is an achievable goal and the American Academy of Dermatology is committed to reducing the incidence of and mortality from skin cancer. By educating the public about how to reduce their risk of skin cancer and how to spot skin cancer, we can help change behaviors and ultimately save lives.
SPOT Skin Cancer? is a large-scale public awareness campaign is designed to involve the public, the Academy?s membership of more than 17,000 physicians worldwide, other health organizations, media, and for-profit corporations to advance the public?s understanding of skin cancer and motivate them to change their behavior to prevent and detect skin cancer.
Coolibar is teaming up with the AAD SPOT Skin Cancer? initiative to help raise awareness on how to prevent skin cancers as well as raise funds for their programs. As a fundraiser, Coolibar is selling Men?s, Women?s and Children?s UPF 50+ SPOT Skin Cancer? T-Shirts. Coolibar will donate $10 from every T-Shirt sale to the initiative. Together, we can all work toward preventing skin cancers.
