(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S., and melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancer. More than 90 percent of melanoma cancers are due to skin cell damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. Melanoma is responsible for more than 9,000 skin cancer deaths each year. In 2011, more than 65,000 melanoma cancers were diagnosed. CDC’s latest Vital Signs report notes that without additional community prevention efforts, melanoma will continue to increase over the next 15 years. CDC has put together a digital press kit, filled with quotes, images, and related resources on community programs that could help to prevent new melanoma cases each year. View DPK
