[Lee D. Cranmer, MD, PhD]

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with an estimated 3.5 million new cases diagnosed each year — more than all other cancers combined. Former President Jimmy Carter’s melanoma diagnosis, resonates in Arizona, where skin cancer rates rank among the highest in the world.

There are two categories of skin cancer, nonmelanoma skin cancer and melanoma. Nationally, one in five Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime. The American Cancer Society has indicated that Arizona sees approximately 1,400 new cases of melanoma each year.
