Collecting My Family History of Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is usually caused by a combination of many factors such as the environment, lifestyle, and other changes that happen to our genes over time. Sometimes, skin cancer may run in families due to changes to our genes that can be passed down between generations. Knowing your family history of skin cancer (like basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma) can help your healthcare team understand if you might have a higher risk of developing skin cancer.
