Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. It is caused due to the development
of abnormal cells, which leads to mutations.
There are two main types of skin cancer: Melanoma and Non-Melanoma
Skin Melanoma is the 19th most commonly occurring cancer, both in men and women.
About two in three Australians will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer
before they reach the age of 70. It kills more than 2000 Australians every year.
