—With many beaches and parks opening in time for summer, Lalor Skin and Cancer Clinic is reminding people to practice sun safety. Overexposing yourself to the sun increases your risk for skin cancer, which is the most common cancer in Australia because Exposure to UV radiation causes 95% of melanomas, the most deadly form of skin cancer.
In Australia, 1 in 8 adults and 1 in 5 teenagers are sunburnt on an summer weekend, when they are taking part in water sports and activities at the beach or a pool, as well as gardening or having a barbeque.
