Skin cancer deaths on the rise in men

Posted

Skin cancer deaths are rising for men, but not for women. T

hat's according to a new global analysis presented at a cancer conference in Scotland. Researchers found over the last three decades more men died from melanoma than women in North America, Europe and Australia.

Rates among women have either stabilized or decreased. One researcher said men aren't as likely to protect themselves from the sun as women.
