Skin cancer is more than skin deep!

Did you know that approximately 7,000 people die in the United States every year from squamous cell skin cancer? And that basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States? The good news is that when identified and treated early, most nonmelanoma skin cancers are curable with minimal surgery. Left untreated, however, they can be deadly or disfiguring. This site is designed to provide you the tools you need to fight the silent epidemic of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
