About:
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, kills 6 people every day.
It has long been considered that use of sunbeds can be a contributory factor in developing melanoma. The NHS, Cancer Research and Macmillan, all give the same advice - ‘do not use sunbeds’.
The World Health Organisation reports that it is estimated that sunbed use is responsible for over 450,000 skin cancer cases and more than 10,000 melanomas in the United States, Europe and Australia.
If melanoma spreads through the body, it is notoriously difficult to treat, and the treatments used are expensive.
Treatment of these cancers costs the NHS over £400m every year.
We want to follow the lead of Australia and ban the sunbed!!
