Skin cancer deaths among men have soared in wealthy nations since 1985, with mortality rates among women rising more slowly or even declining, researchers told a medical conference in Glasgow Sunday.
Reasons for the discrepancy between sexes are unclear but evidence suggests men are “less likely to protect themselves from the sun” or heed public health warnings, lead researcher Dorothy Yang, a doctor at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust in London, told AFP.
More than 90 percent of melanoma cancers are caused by skin cell damage from exposure to the sun or other sources of ultraviolet (UV) radiation such as tanning beds, according to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
In eight of 18 countries examined, men’s skin cancer death rates increased over three decades by at least 50 percent.
[…] Seriously, guys. It’s an issue. […]
The leftist drones will blame it on our “white privilege”
And Turdo will install a sun tax
Geez, don’t give him any ideas that night come back and bite us in the ass.
@Frimky, Is that the best you can do for a picture? A little closer perhaps, more details? It’s hard to spot the cancer from way out here!!!
There are natural remedies for skin cancer that have been proven to work. Far be it for the medical profession to ever let anyone know this. Not spam, no sales, just a site with people telling what worked for them…. https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/melanoma.html
As a public service, for years I have been providing chicks with free breast cancer exams. Saint that I am, I will now expand that service to full body skin cancer exams. The line forms here.
I’m offering free gynocological exams.
You too, sir, are a saint.
Just trying to do my part to make the world a better place…

Eeeewwwww….
That’s not the type I was thinking of…
