Uveal melanoma is a rare but serious eye cancer that often causes no symptoms early on. Early detection during routine eye exams is key, as this cancer can spread quickly and may become life-threatening. For more on uveal melanoma, visit curemelanoma.org/about-melanoma/types/uveal-melanoma.

Spring break is here, but UV rays don’t take a break! Whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or rainy, the best sunscreen is the one you wear. Protect your skin every day— because whether it's from the sun or artificial devices, there's no such thing as a healthy tan. #MelanomaAwareness #Sunscreen

💡 In 2007, melanoma’s death rate was 13.53%. Thanks to research and treatments like immunotherapy, that number has dropped—even as diagnoses rise. But 8,000+ lives could still be lost in 2025. 📣 Urge Congress to #FundMelanomaResearch. Research saves lives. 🎗️
