Melanoma

While many types of cancer are on the decline, one that might not seem so scary -- melanoma -- is on the rise. And it is scary. Melanoma, or skin cancer, is up 800 percent among young women and 400 percent among young men over the last three decades. It's the fifth leading killer cancer for men and seventh for women. As the weather beckons us outdoors, we'll talk about how to prevent -- and treat -- melanoma. Join host Mike McIntyre Wednesday at 9 on 90.3.

Dr. Kord Honda, Director of Dermatopathology, University Hospitals Case Medical Center
Dr. David Crowe,, Dermatologist, Metrohealth
Megan Gibbons, former melanoma patient.
