Wellness Site of the Week:
This website was established after the death of a 26 year old male to melanoma
(skin cancer) by his family who asks that the website be visited to learn about
the dangers of melanoma. The site focuses on early detection of melanoma by self
exam (how to's) to detect the disease while it is curable.
WHY:
1. among 25-29 year age group melanoma is the most prevalent cancer increasing
by 4% annually.
2. in a 1996 survey 74 % of people 18-24 years old have little or no knowledge
about this killer or how to check for it.
