dc.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. | en |
