Choose Skin Health from Neutrogena has partnered with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to encourage the public to choose healthy sun safe behaviors. One American dies of melanoma almost every hour. With early detection, melanoma has an almost 100 percent five year survival rate. We invite you to choose skin health by having you skin examined for skin cancer by a dermatologist, encouraging others to get screened for skin cancer, using sunscreen regularly and practicing skin self exams monthly. This goal of this new partnership with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and Neutrogena Choose Skin Health is to encourage the public to choose healthy sun safe behaviors, including skin cancer prevention, through free skin cancer screenings, using sunscreen regularly and practicing skin self exams.
Recent research has shown that the incidence of skin cancer is rising at epidemic levels. In 2009, ASDS members performed more than 3 million skin cancer treatment procedures. When detected early, skin cancer has an almost 100 percent 5 year survival rate. ASDS and Neutrogena are pleased to announce our partnership in providing free skin cancer screenings through our member volunteers.
