Rates of melanoma skin cancer hit all-time high in UK, study finds

Rates of melanoma skin cancer in the UK have risen significantly, with a 57% increase among the over-80s and a 7% rise in 25 to 49-year-olds, attributing to UV exposure and lack of awareness.

CRUK projects a record 20,800 cases in the UK this year, of which about 17,000 are preventable, emphasizing the need for sun safety measures due to the high preventability of melanoma.
