Anyone Can Get Skin Cancer

The goal of this brochure is to dispel the belief that only people with light skin are at risk for skin cancer. Although people with light skin have greater risk than people with darker skin, people with darker skin can also be at risk.

This brochure explains:

  • risk factors
  • prevention behaviors
  • early detection of skin cancer

This brochure was developed in 2010.
