Description:
This first national Skin Cancer Prevention Plan is a landmark commitment, arising from our National Cancer Strategy 2017-2026, and aimed at tackling the most common type of cancer in Ireland. Over 11,000 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed annually. This is twice the number compared to 10 years ago and is projected to more than double again by 2045. Yet most skin cancers could be prevented. Cancer prevention is a cornerstone of the National Cancer Strategy as it offers the most cost effective, long term approach for cancer control. Addressing this rising incidence of skin cancer, the strategy prioritises the need to develop and implement a national skin cancer prevention plan.
