Why is Skin Cancer a Concern in Australia
Australians have one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.
The rate of melanoma has increased from 54 people per 100, 000 to 69 people per 100,000 between 2000 and 2023.
Melanoma is the 3rd most common cancer diagnosed in Australia and the 11th highest in terms of mortality.
(Cancer Data in Australia, 31/08/2023, AIHW, https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/cancer/cancer-data-in-australia/contents/rankings).
Like any cancer the sooner it is picked up the more likely a treatment will be curative.
Skin cancer is unique in regards to the fact that it can be detected with non invasive methods. ​
​
If you develop a skin lesion which is growing rapidly, bleeding, uncomfortable when touched, changing in shape, colors becoming more irregular or is nodular in shape, don't wait for your next skin check, have the lesion reviewed as soon as possible.
