The ugly truth about skin cancer: Here are some reminders... Every year in Australia, skin cancers account for around 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers. Between 95 and 99% of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun and General Practitioners have over 1 million patient consultations per year for skin cancer in Australia. Sun exposure has been identified as the cause of 95% to 99% of skin cancers in Australia (source: Cancer Council Australia). These statistics are dramatic, but the good news is that skin cancer is also identified as the most preventable form of cancer in Australia (source: Sunsmart Australia).
