TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com is proud to launch this new, expanded collection of stories and information to help seniors, boomers and others to detect and fight melanoma skin cancers, which, while the among the easiest to detect, cure and even to avoid, can also be among the most deadly.

Our interest is sparked by the fact that Publisher Daniel Hines had a melanoma removed from his neck.  Like many people his age (67), as a youth he took pride in his sunburns and peeling skin as a first step towards 'tanning.'  All he got on his fair skin was freckles and exposure to conditions that as he aged would lead to moles and melanoma.

It is our goal to help others avoid this.  Our collection of stories follows:

Early diagnosis key to melanoma cure...A combined strategy of public education and early diagnosis currently offers the only hope of cure for people with melanoma, warn senior doctors in this week’s BMJ...(more)

Help set a Guinness World Record by getting a free skin cancer screening...More than one million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year and an estimated 10,710 people will die of skin cancer in 2006. Yet if detected early, skin cancer averages a cure rate of 95 percent. That’s why on Saturday, May 6, 2006, the American Academy of Dermatology (Academy) is working with member dermatologists throughout the country to attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the most people screened for skin cancer in a single day...(more)
Learn how to spot the warning signs of hidden melanomas... The last place one might look for melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, is exactly the place where a small percentage shows up – such as under the nails, on the scalp, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Since they are not easily detected and symptoms can mimic other conditions, these skin cancers are very dangerous. If left undetected, hidden melanomas can pose a serious threat to a person’s health and prognosis...(more)

Overexposure to the sun can happen indoors and outdoors...In the car, at work or walking to and from a store, you can’t escape the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays...(more)

Melanoma vaccine strategy shows promise in laboratory experiments...A novel approach to creating a vaccine to treat melanoma has demonstrated promising effectiveness in a new laboratory study led by researchers at The Wistar Institute. About a third of melanoma patients might benefit from such a vaccine. The study appears in the current issue of Cancer Research...(more)

Mayo Clinic reports new option for patients with metastatic melanoma...Patients with metastatic melanoma (MM) have new hope, says a recently published study by Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. The study, which shows the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin (PC) appears to be effective for MM when traditional treatments have failed, is in this month's issue of Cancer...(more)

Researchers test new therapy for advanced melanoma ...Melanoma is a particularly deadly form of skin cancer very resistant to treatment. Researchers at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of South Florida are testing a promising new therapy that prompts the immune system to aid in the fight against melanoma tumors...(more)

Skin cancer reaching epidemic status...The statistics on skin cancer should make you grab the sun screen and a hat before you head outdoors, or perhaps cancel that appointment at the tanning salon...(more)

Early detection of thick melanomas remains same despite campaigns promoting early detection, increased awareness...(more)
