☀️🍂 The temperatures may be cooling down, but your skin is still soaking up the sun!
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., and harmful UV rays don’t take the fall and winter off. Whether you’re enjoying a hike in the crisp air, walking the dog, or spending time outside at a game, remember: protecting your skin is a year-round activity.
🧴 Wear sunscreen
🕶️ Use sunglasses and protective clothing
🔍 Check your skin regularly for changes
If you do find yourself facing a skin cancer diagnosis, talk to your dermatologist about meeting with our team to see if treating it with radiation is appropriate for you. Learn more about our approach from two of our radiation oncologists - Dr. Chris Shukla and Dr. Jeremiah Johnson.
At New Mexico Cancer Center, we’re here to help you stay proactive about your health—because prevention and early detection save lives. 💙
