10 FACTS:

1. The Childhood Melanoma diagnosis rate is up 3% each year.

2. In the U.S. your chance of getting melanoma in 1940 was 1 in 1500. By 2004, it was 1 in 67. By 2010, scientists predict it will be 1 in 50.

3.  In the U.S. there are as many new cases of melanoma each year than there are of AIDS.

4. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime.

5. Use of tanning beds triples or even quadruples the risk of developing melanoma, according to a University of Minnesota research study. Also, the increase in risk was seen for both high-speed and high-pressure machines, suggesting that no type of tanning device could be considered safe.

6. Knowing your ABC's could save your life.

10.  Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon.
