Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in Hong Kong and the risk of diagnosis is greatly increased by environmental factors, mainly sun exposure. Understanding how to protect yourself from the sun, along with identifying and monitoring skin changes can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer.
