MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 1, 2017 05:22 PM
From: Senator Patrick M. Browne
To: All Senate members
Subject: Resolution designating May 2017 as Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month in PA
 
In the near future I plan to introduce a resolution designating May 2017 as “Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month in Pennsylvania".

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with current estimates that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Recent estimates also show that 1611,790, new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed this year.

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. However, with early detection, melanoma and other skin cancers are highly treatable.

Please join me in cosponsoring this resolution to raise awareness about skin cancer, increasing the chances of early detection. It is vital that skin cancers and especially melanoma are treated early.

Introduced as SR119
