Who’s at risk?
Anyone can be at risk for skin cancer, but especially those with fair skin, frequent sun exposure, tanning bed use, or a history of sunburns.

Protect your skin:
- Wear SPF 30+ daily

- Stay in the shade (10 AM–4 PM)
- Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours
- Check your skin for changes

Use the ABCDEs to spot trouble:
Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving

If you notice a new or changing spot, don’t wait—early detection saves lives.

Each year, over 25,000 adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with a primary brain tumor.

While not all brain tumors are cancerous, every tumor can impact vital functions like memory, speech, and motor skills—depending on its location.

🔎 Common symptoms to watch for:
• Persistent or worsening headaches
• Seizures
• Memory loss or confusion
• Changes in speech or vision

About 30% of brain tumors are malignant, but all deserve expert evaluation and care.
