New research estimates 24% of cancers in men that were detected in 2012 were overdiagnosed, meaning they never would have caused harm if left untreated.
It seems genes have a greater influence than previously thought not only on the number of moles you have but also where they are on your body.
While sunscreen has the potential to reduce skin cancer for light-skinned people, it has never been shown to do the same for Black people.
You need far less sun than you think you do.
An international team of researchers is probing the links between skin diseases, including cancer, to speed the search for cures.
Many gyms use free tanning beds to lure in new members who are eager to look and feel their best. But this, argues Sherry Pagoto, runs against the health lifestyle premise these gyms are advocating.
Researchers have discovered some blood markers that indicate melanoma. Here’s what has to happen for the test to reach clinics.
Scientists have long thought that regions of DNA called telomeres control how long you live. We are now learning that it is your diet and lifestyle that shape your telomeres, not the other way around.
Cancer is a disease of our genes, but resistance to therapy might go beyond cancer mutations. The DNA stays the same, but cancer cells outsmart the drugs by switching their gene activity.
Most Aussies think we have such high rates of skin cancer due to an ‘ozone hole’. But that’s not the case. Here’s why we have nearly a million cases of skin cancer per year.
Australians over the age of 40 can now calculate their risk of developing melanoma with a new online test.
The internet conspiracists are half right: most lights we have inside do emit UV, but not enough to harm us.
Whenever summer rolls around, it’s easy to forget the basics of sunscreen. How long should I wait after applying it to go in the sun, and how long can I stay in the sun with it on?
Some argue the current system of subsidising drugs in Australia needs changing to accommodate new cancer therapies. But two recent drug listings show the current system is working perfectly well.
Doctors are taught how to treat skin cancer – but not necessarily how to empathise with those who have it.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, can usually be cured when caught early. When it has spread, however, it becomes a challenge. Recent findings are bringing hope. Here are a few examples.
The value of machine learning is not only that it is more accurate than humans. It is also cheaper and more consistent in its diagnoses.
Most of the skin lumps we develop will be benign. Here are some of the most common, and how to tell them apart.
A few cancers vanish without any medical treatment. Researchers are studying these ‘spontaneous regressions’ to see if they can lead to new cancer treatments.
