As summer approaches, and we spend more time in the sun, the risk for skin cancer increases, but a Phoenix tattoo artist is to thank helping clients identify signs of cancer on their bodies.
Experts at the Vincere Cancer Center in Scottsdale helps treat and prevent all cancers, but skin cancer is one of their most common. They partner with some of the most at-risk people, including several fire departments across the state.
"Right now, we are picking up one cancer a week, so when we started the program it was 10, 12, 15, but now we are up to 50 cancers a year, which is amazing a majority of these cancers are under the age of 50 when cancer screenings are not even recommended," Dr. Vershalee Shukla said. Experts say the best things you can do is wear long breathable clothes, and a hat. Also, pick mineral based sunscreens with 35-40 spf, apply every two hours.
