Melanoma, De Giorgi (Imi): "Sun protection is not just for the beach."

Melanoma prevention is based on eliminating risk factors. Unfortunately, for many, the main risk factor is sun exposure. We know that 80% of melanomas are linked to sun exposure. People still only apply sunscreen at the beach; they don't apply it outdoors, when playing sports, or even when engaging in recreational activities, not just sports, but even just going for a walk.

These are the moments when you need to protect yourself,” said Vincenzo De Giorgi, secretary of the Italian Melanoma Intergroup, at the Imi national congress in Bologna.
