SKIN CANCER
Skin cancer rates in Australia are higher than anywhere else in the world. It is the most common form of cancer in Australia, affecting all age groups.
In SA, the lifetime risk of developing a skin cancer is 1/33 for men and 1/36 for women.
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the basal layer of the epidermis.
