July Is UV Safety Month

Skin cancer is the number one cancer diagnosis in the United States - more common than all breast, prostate, and lung cancers combined. The majority of cases are caused by sun damage to skin cells, and therefore are largely preventable. Every year in July we recognize UV Safety month to remind people of the importance of sun safety. Get the facts about skin cancer, get sun safety tips or read the transcript from our Sun Safety Webchat!

Navigating the Cancer Journey
Are you facing a new cancer diagnosis or changing course of your current treatment? The OncoPilot section was developed to give you suggestions on ways to make this time easier and to help you make the best decisions.

Use the OncoPilot forms to create a treatment binder to keep all your information in one place. Take your binder to your appointments to update or reference this handy tool!
