Why are screenings so important?
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Current estimates are that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and one person dies from melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) every hour. Yet when caught early, skin cancer is highly treatable.
“Skin cancer is one of the only cancers that can be seen on the surface of the skin,” says Anna Gregoire, MD, “Yet many people don’t know how to spot skin cancer, including what to look for on their skin, or when they should see a dermatologist.”
To increase people’s chances of spotting skin cancer early when it’s most treatable, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends everyone learn the ABCDEs of melanoma, which outline the warning signs of the disease.
- Asymmetry (A): One half of the spot does not look like the other.
- Border (B): The edges are uneven, notched, or blurred.
- Color (C): The color is not uniform, with shades of tan, brown, black, or red, white, and blue.
- Diameter (D): The spot is typically larger than 6 millimeters (about 1/4 “, or the size of a pencil eraser).
- Evolving (E): The mole is changing in size, shape, or color, or if it is itching, bleeding, or forming a sore.

It’s estimated that more than 2,447 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed in Minnesota this year—the third highest rate in the nation. Although skin cancer is more common among people with light or fair skin tones, everyone is at risk for this life-threatening disease.
