A study shows a massive increase in rates among men and women but 'stabilising' rates among those under 34.

Skin cancer rates have rocketed in the past few decades, according to a new study.

The number of cases among men has gone up five-fold and the number of cases in women have risen by 250%, driven by increases in those aged 35 and over. The study, by Brighton and Sussex Medical School , analysed data on more than 265,000 people diagnosed with skin cancer in England between 1981 and 2018.

Professor Anjum Memon, chair in epidemiology and public health medicine at BSMS and lead author of the study, said those years had seen a"steady and significant" increase in skin cancer rates in those aged over 35."The steeper increase in males is consistent with their relatively greater sun exposure and poor sun-protective behaviour."

Skin cancer is the fifth-most common cancer in the UK and an estimated 86% of cases are due to excessive exposure to UV radiation from the sun.

Man, 34, charged after two-week-old baby died when pram was hit by carCiaran Morris was in a pram on his first walk being pushed along the pavement by his parents when the crash happened in Brownhills, Walsall. It wasn't hit by a car it was hit by a driver using a motor vehicle, car culture at its worst, if someone had been shot it wouldn't read 'hit by bullet' it would read 'murdered by gunman' there needs to be reporting guidelines for RTA's asap. This is so incredibly sad. I cannot even begin to imagine what this family is going through. May he rest in peace ❤️ xxx So sad 😞.
