Morton Plant Mease Turley Family Health Center To Offer Free Skin Cancer ScreeningsAccording to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than one million skin cancers are diagnosed annually. A Florida resident is diagnosed once every two hours with a new case of melanoma skin cancer. If caught in its early stages, melanoma is almost always curable. If caught early, skin cancer is highly curable.
