Why Understanding Skin Cancer Prevention is Vital in Utah

Utah’s high altitude and genetics are just two of the reasons why Utahns are at higher risk of developing melanoma. That’s why it’s important to learn how to prevent skin cancer and to get your skin screened regularly. In this week's episode of Utah Weekly Forum,  FM100.3's Rebecca is joined by Dr. Breton Yates with Swinyer Woseth Dermatology, who explains what dermatologists are looking for during screenings and what you can do to safeguard your health during Skin Cancer Awareness Month and beyond.
