> Skin Cancer Detection & Prevention

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in this country, with approximately one million Americans developing it each year. City of Hope, a member charity of Community Health Charities, combines advanced diagnostics, aggressive, new treatments and the expertise of a closely coordinated group of specialists to provide the latest in care for patients with different types of skin cancer, including melanoma.

The survival rate for patients with melanoma depends upon when they start treatment. The cure rate is very high when melanoma is detected in early stages, when it can easily be removed surgically.

Stories of Caring
  

Staff Sergeant Mark Thompson convinced the Army that having type-1 diabetes should not keep him from serving in Iraq. Thompson, 28, is an Iowa native. He has been married for nine years and has a son, Kyle, who is two years old. He has always had something of a travel bug, and it was this desire to see the world that inspired Thompson to join the Army. That, and the stories he heard from his college roommate -- an older student who had served in the Vietnam War. As Thompson listened, the Army started to sound like an adventure.
