Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To provide a general overview of malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, with an emphasis on epidemiology, clinical presentation, and the multiple and varied risk factors associated with skin cancer. DATA SOURCES: Peer-reviewed journal articles, government health reports, book chapters, and Web-based resources. CONCLUSION: Skin cancer is the most common carcinoma, affecting millions worldwide. Incidence is increasing yearly, making it a pre-eminent public health threat. Myriad factors increase the risk of skin cancer and may serve as important prognostic indicators for the disease. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: To provide nurses with a clearer understanding of the causative mechanisms of skin cancer and an improved awareness of the risk factors associated with the disease.
