4 EXAMPLES OF PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS Time by the American Academy of Dermatology: Tanning is Out, Your Skin is in by the Melanoma Foundation Have Fun in the Sun, but be Sun Smart by Mayo Clinic BACKGROUND The incidence of skin cancer is greater than the incidence of lung, colon, breast, and prostate cancer combined! More than 5 million people are treated for skin cancer each year. Melanoma, a less common type of skin cancer, causes the most skin cancer-related deaths. One person dies from melanoma every hour. Utah has the highest rate of melanoma in the country, with a mortality rate higher than the national average. Alarmingly, as opposed to other common forms of cancer, melanoma incidence has been increasing in recent decades. Over two-thirds of melanomas can be attributed to ultraviolet (UV) exposure. UV radiation are rays emitted from the sun or tanning devices that cause DNA damage, which increases risk of developing cancer. Sun Safe Behaviors Apply sunscreen regularly (at least SPF 30, broad spectrum UVA/UVB, containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) Seek shade when possible Wear protective clothing (long sleeved shirts, long pants, widebrimmed hats, sunglasses) Avoid tanning beds! 4

5 The following are common myths associated with tanning and sun exposure: Myth: A base tan protects your skin from sunburn Fact: There is no evidence that suggests that base tans prevent future sunburns. Your skin s ability to tan is your body s natural response to DNA damage from UV exposure. Damage to your DNA ages your skin (causing wrinkles) and increases your lifetime risk of developing skin cancer. The best way to protect your skin from sunburns is to practice Sun Safe Behaviors. Myth: Only old people get skin cancer Fact: Melanoma is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in young adults age and the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in teens and young adults age DNA damage to your skin accumulates throughout your lifetime and greatly increases your risk for developing skin cancer. For example, having several sunburns in your youth can at least double your melanoma risk! Myth: Tanning beds are a safe way to tan Fact: Tanning beds are NOT a safe way to tan! The only safe tan comes from a bottle or spray-on (fake tans). Ultraviolet radiation has been proven to cause skin cancer. The World Health Organization has included UV radiation from the sun and from tanning beds to the list of most dangerous cancer-causing agents along with cigarettes. More people develop skin cancer attributed to tanning than develop lung cancer attributed to smoking! Tanning beds can emit as much as 12 times the amount of UV radiation as the sun. Only one indoor tanning session can increase your risk of melanoma by approximately 20%. Myth: No sun damage on cloudy or cold days Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate through clouds. In addition, water, snow and sand can intensify the sun s rays by reflecting them so be sure to use extra caution when water skiing, boating, snowboarding, surfing, etc. Myth: Fake tans will protect me from the sun Fake tans will give you a nice glow safely but it will not protect you from UV rays. Even if you do have a fake tan, it is still important to practice Sun 5
