AB  - Adolescents need to prevent sun damage and skin cancer.  Melanoma represents approximately 1 percent of all cancers, but is the most common fatal skin cancer in the United States, causing more than 9,000 annual deaths and contributing to millions of dollars in yearly health care costs for treatment. Healthy People 2020 included skin cancer due to the high incidence of melanoma.  All skin cancers have the same basic risk factor of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure.  There is a strong public health need as it is widely known that keratinocyte carcinomas, better known as non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), are the most common type of  cancer in the United States.
