Melanoma, Brain & Skin Cancer Awareness

• Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month

• Brain Cancer Awareness Month
  (Also includes other related research and prevention months in some calendars.)

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month is observed every May to educate the public about skin cancer prevention, early detection, risk factors (like UV exposure), and support for those affected, with organizations providing resources, promoting sun safety (sunscreen, protective clothing, shade), and encouraging skin checks for suspicious moles or lesions. Key messages focus on reducing preventable cases through sun protection and recognizing signs of skin cancer early to save lives
