Today is , a global moment to raise awareness of cancer and the importance of prevention, early detection, and treatment.

Dermatologists diagnose and treat more than 3,000 conditions, many of which are life-altering or life-threatening. This includes melanoma, one of the fastest-growing cancers in Canada. Yet across the country, just over 800 certified dermatologists are caring for a population of more than 40 million.

Access to timely dermatology care matters.
