Almost 45,000 new cases of malignant melanoma appear each year, and up to 9,000 people will die from the disease. The main culprit is overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, and even though the danger is widely publicized, many people still do not use sunscreen to protect their skin. Melanoma can be detected early, and Melanoma: Winning the Battle Against Skin Cancer shows photographs of various kinds of skin cancers to look for. Medical authorities from the University of Texas and New York University talk about the distinct warning signs of skin cancer. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
