Skin cancer statistics

http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-info/cancerstats/keyfacts/skin-cancer

About 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in over two million people are diagnosed annually.

Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon. 

From 1970 to 2009, the incidence of melanoma increased by 800 percent among young women and 400 percent among young men. 

1 in 50 men and women will be diagnosed with melanoma of the skin during their lifetime.

Over the last thirty years, rates of malignant melanoma in Great Britain have risen faster than any of the current top ten cancers

People from the most affluent areas are more likely to be diagnosed with malignant melanoma than those from the more deprived areas

Malignant melanoma survival rates have been improving for the last twenty-five years and are now amongst the highest for any cancer.

"The Great Gatsby" Review

11 May 2013 | by arnold kumar (TheConnoisseurReviews) (United States) – See all my reviews

Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," is fairly accurate to the classic novel and keeps most of its themes intact. However, Luhrmann's own flair adds a new dimension to the story. Visually this film is incredibly stunning. From grand sets to the detailed period dresses, this film is a treat for the eyes. Never once does it not take your breath away from its impressive scenery. Many people might be worried about the updated music, but there is nothing to fear. Jay-Z's track works incredible well with the film and complements the era in which it is set.

The direction in this film is impeccable. The cinematography is marvelous and really lets the viewer absorb the sheer artistry that has gone into making this film. Luhrmann keeps a high level of energy throughout the film and the party sequences are choreographed and edited in a way that it makes you feel envious of not being apart of it. Editing in the film is seamless and really keeps the viewer engaged. A common criticism the film receives is that it is more style than substance, however, I must disagree. This modern interpretation doesn't forget its themes and morals from the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald tale.

Performances are phenomenal by the entire cast. Carey Mulligan's Daisy is every bit as careless as one would expect, but she also manages to show some complexity in her role. Tobey Maguire is a great avatar for us to take on as we enter this film. He is very much the viewer as he sees everything happening, but is ultimately helpless to change anything. The true standouts in the film are Joel Edgerton and Leonardo DiCaprio. Edgerton as Tom Buchanan brings a lot of personality to his character that I thought was absent in the book. He's a bit more tender and more vulnerable, especially when he finds out his wife's secret. The true award recognition worthy performance comes from DiCaprio's Gatsby. He hones on being a respectable, but idealistically insane man. His performance is not only compelling, but also charming and quit hopeful. He truly deserves some recognition come Oscar season.

Overall, "The Great Gatsby" is a fantastically entertaining and enthralling film. It is horribly underrated as it is filled with awards worthy visuals, sets, costumes, direction, and performances. It is a great time at the movies for anyone that enjoys the classic novel or who haven't even heard of it. Not only is this film dramatically satisfying, but also quite humorous and a spectacle like no other. I give it 4.5/5, a great adaptation of one of the greatest novels ever written.

Caroline-Saffron Walden        Wrinkle free treatments now available on a Tuesday    BOCOUTURE® What is BOCOUTURE®? A natural purified protein of Botulinum Toxin A. It relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles. It creates a smoothed, rejuvenated appearance. BOCOUTURE® is clinically proven to give consistent, targeted results that are visible within just a few days (up to 14), with effects that can last for up to 3 to 4 months. When injected into a muscle: It temporarily blocks the chemical signals that make the muscle contract only minute quantities of BOCOUTURE® are injected. Only the injected muscle will be affected. The muscle simply relaxes or ‘goes to sleep’. This relaxation enables the skin to relax and heal and the lines smooth away. What happens during a BOCOUTURE® treatment? • It only takes about 10 – 20 minutes • Your Doctor will ask you to frown or smile to assess your muscle movement • Then determine the injection site to achieve the best results for you • BOCOUTURE® is the administered by several tiny injections • Feels like a pin prick • No anaesthetic is required • You can return to work or day to day activities immediately Is BOCOUTURE® safe? BOCOUTURE® and BOTOX® have an excellent safety profile. BOTOX® is used in a variety of therapeutic areas. It is one of the few treatments that can be given to treat children over 2 years of age to treat Cerebral Palsy – BOTOX® helps them to walk! BOTOX® has been actively used for over 10 years in tens of thousands of patients worldwide. BOTOX® has US FDA and European license approval Are there any side effects from a BOCOUTURE® treatment?

It is approved to smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds1. When injected into the dermis Belotero evenly integrates with your own dermal tissues and discreetly enhances your facial contours for added confidence. Belotero rehydrates for a radiant appearance. Belotero – it becomes you... As we age, our skin inevitably loses its youthful appearance as the production of natural dermal volumisers and moisturisers such as hyaluronic acid (HA) diminish, leaving lines and wrinkles where our skin was once youthful, even and radiant. Belotero is an HA dermal filler, made of the same volumising and moisturising component of your skin, so it is the natural choice for reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. When injected, it instantly plumps and adds volume to the areas where it has been lost. Even the finest lines can be treated with confidence with Belotero. What's the Belotero secret? Belotero is specially designed to integrate into your tissue to provide subtle and even results without disrupting the natural contours of your face, so you can be confident that no one will ever know how you manage to look so refreshed and confident. The Belotero secret can be your secret too. In clinical studies 97% of patients showed a visible improvement after just one treatment with Belotero2. If you have previously been treated with a dermal filler you will be surprised by the subtlety of the area treated with Belotero. Unlike other fillers, you are unlikely to feel the implant, but will certainly see the refreshing results. Appointments are available for Tuedays only!
