The first Monday in May kicks off Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and so “CBS This Morning” is taking a closer look at the deadliest type of skin cancer, 바둑이사이트 melanoma, which is on the rise.

According to the National Cancer Institute, melanoma is expected to kill more than 7,200 Americans this year. The number of cases has been growing for the past decade, with more than 96,000 new cases expected in 2019.

But there has been progress; more than 92 percent of melanoma patients survive at least five years.

“Melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancer, and we think unfortunately rates are still going up due to high levels of unprotected skin exposure and people are still using tanning beds,” said Dr. Elizabeth Hale, a dermatologist, senior vice president of the Skin Cancer Foundation, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology. “But fortunately, for the first time the survival rate is improving due to advances in treatment of advanced melanoma.”
