Why are Skin Cancer checks so important?

Australia, and more specifically, Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Here are some statistics from the Skin Cancer Council’s 2017 report.
Skin Cancers are the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia.
More than 12,000 Australians are diagnosed with melanoma each year (2013 data).
3666 Queenslanders were diagnosed with a melanoma of the skin in 2014 (the latest figures available), with 315 dying from the disease.
Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world.
We don’t feel UV radiation. It is the invisible part of sunlight that causes tanning, sunburn and skin damage.
Anyone can be at risk of developing skin cancer, though the risk increases as you get older due to cumulative UV radiation exposure.
More than 1,400 Australians die from melanoma each year (2014 data).
The number of Australians diagnosed with both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer are increasing except for those aged <40 years.
