More people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the U.S. each year than all other cancers combined. I’m Amelia Ryerse for GBMC’s Health Check.

One in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. While that number seems daunting, regular screenings mean most skin cancers are caught before they become too serious.

"Because of our ability to treat and remove it if caught early, melanoma can be less scary than other cancers, but that doesn’t mean it’s not serious," Rebecca Dodson, MD, Medical Oncologist and Surgeon with the Sandra and Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute, said. "Catching it early is key. Getting screened regularly, especially with a family history of melanoma, is imperative."

"Any time you hear the word cancer, it’s scary. But Dr. Dodson and her team reassured me, took care of me and gave me the tools to look out for myself in the future." Linda said.

We're more than just healthcare providers. We're your team. At GBMC, we face cancer, together.
