Tackling high rates of skin cancer in rural Australia
Manage episode 426851830 series 5385
Australia has some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world with 2 in 3 Australians being diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. Men are also more at risk of developing and dying from skin cancer than women.
What you might not know is that rates of skin cancer are higher in rural and remote areas and often detected once the cancer is more advanced.
Researchers in Queensland and South Australia are looking at different ways we can bring down the number of people in rural areas dying from skin cancer and looking at ways we can educate rural communities, especially men, to take skin health more seriously.
