CONCORD TOWNSHIP, OH, April 27, 2010 - According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers. It is estimated that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. In fact, in 2009 nearly 68,720 people are expected to be diagnosed with melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. However, like the less aggressive skin cancers basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, melanoma is almost always curable when detected in its early stages.
