The incidence of skin cancer continues to rise. Even in Sweden, UV radiation levels can be very high in the summer.
The incidence of skin cancer in Sweden and many other countries is increasing and the main reason is due to a change in human behaviour – we tend to spend more time in the sun.
Even in Sweden, UV radiation levels can be very high in the summer. Protect yourself by not sunbathing in the middle of the day, by using sunscreen, and by wearing protective clothing and sunglasses.
