Conquering Skin Cancer
Fostering Hope for Skin Cancer
Conquering Skin Cancer showcases the preventable nature of this disease. The solution lies in long-term investment in national prevention programs, emphasising public awareness, regular self-examination, screening, early detection, and treatment. A coordinated effort is crucial to mobilise public and political support, empowering governments to prioritise action. Together, we can combat the rising skin cancer rates, saving lives and reducing its impact worldwide.
Why It Matters
Skin cancer rates continue to rise around the world - many of these can be attributed to intentional UV exposure. Increasing awareness and robust prevention measures offer effective ways to reduce the toll of skin cancer deaths. Our film aims to inspire our audiences to take up prevention measures and learn how to be part of the solution to end preventable skin cancers.
