AI Summary
This resolution proclaims May 2025 as Skin Cancer Awareness Month in California, highlighting the critical importance of understanding and preventing skin cancer. The resolution provides context about skin cancer, noting that over five million cases are diagnosed annually in the United States, with 1 in 5 Americans expected to develop skin cancer by age 70. It specifically emphasizes that excessive ultraviolet radiation exposure is the most preventable cause of melanoma, with about 90% of non-melanoma and 85% of melanoma skin cancers associated with sun exposure. The resolution draws attention to the serious nature of skin cancer, particularly malignant melanoma, which is estimated to result in over 200,340 diagnoses and approximately 8,290 deaths in 2024. By recognizing Skin Cancer Awareness Month, the resolution aims to encourage Californians to educate themselves and their families about skin cancer risks, prevention strategies, and the importance of early detection, with support from organizations like the California Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery.
