Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, and yet it’s one of the most preventable.
In July’s Focus on Health with ThedaCare, we’re joined by Dr. Joseph Bovi, a Radiation Oncologist with ThedaCare Cancer Care. Skin cancer is a disease where skin cells grow out of control. This uncontrolled growth can lead to the formation of malignant (cancerous) tumors.
During this month’s segment, we’ll be discussing all you need to know about skin cancer and UV safety and not just for summer.
