WASHINGTON -- Skin cancer is on the rise among young adults, according
to a US study on Monday that suggests using indoor tanning beds and
failing to protect against childhood sunburns may be to blame.Between
1970 and 2009, the rate of melanoma among women increased eightfold and
quadrupled among men, according to Mayo Clinic experts who studied all
medical records for 256 people in a county in Minnesota over that
timespan.However, death rates from melanoma fell during the same
period, suggesting that early interventions may be helping to save some
lives, said the researchers.
