Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, with 2 in 3 Australians expected to be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. Most skin cancers are caused by overexposure to UV radiation from the sun or artificial sources. The UV rays damage the skin cells, making them abnormal and changing their growth, which can result in skin cancer. However, when diagnosed early, most skin cancers can be treated successfully.
Early detection is crucial, and you can take a few steps to monitor your skin. Performing self-checks regularly and becoming familiar with your skin can help you identify any changes. Look out for new spots (moles) and any changes in shape, color, or size of existing moles. Remember, skin cancers can develop anywhere, even on parts of the body usually covered but not necessarily fully protected. If you notice any changes or have concerns about moles or your sun exposure, book an appointment for a skin check. Early detection can save lives.
Prevention is the best cure for skin cancer, and there are several measures you can take to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. The Cancer Council recommends using a combination of protection measures, including:
- Seeking shade
- Wearing protective clothing
- Applying SPF 30 or higher broad-spectrum sunscreen
- Wearing a broad-brimmed hat
- Wearing sunglasses
- Avoiding tanning beds and sunlamps
Using these protection measures doesn't guarantee that you will not get skin cancer, but it can help reduce your risk. When combined with regular self-checks and professional skin checks, you can improve your defense against invasive skin cancer.
