Prevention
The aim of prevention, the so-called primary prevention is to prevent the disease from developing in the first place. To make that happen it is necessary to research and recognise the causes for the development of a disease and to recognise the risk factors which favour the development.
The most important known risk factor for the development of skin cancer that we can influence is ultraviolet UV-radiation emitted by sunlight, solarium tanning sun beds and sunlamps.
Read how you can best and expediently protect yourself. How high your vulnerability is to develop skin cancer depends on your own personal risk constellation. In recent years much has been researched and become known about risk factors. Much in the area of the development of skin cancer however, is still unknown and subject to intensive research effort.
