Did you know that skin cancers account for 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers, with two in three Australians typically diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they are 70*. Of all the cancers suffered by Australians, melanoma is the most common cancer in people aged 15-44 years*.
Queensland, also known as the ‘sunshine’ state has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world* with Asteron claim numbers on the rise for early stage melanoma (Age 30-37)**.
