Author(s):

Kristie L. Kahl

In this episode of the “CURE Talks Cancer” podcast, we spoke with Drs. Ali Hendi and Jeremy Brauer about skin cancer awareness month.

In conjunction with Skin Cancer Awareness Month, we spoke with two doctors on the basics of the disease.

Dr. Ali Hendi, a Maryland based dermatologist and spokesperson for The Skin Cancer Foundation, helped to educate individuals about the common causes, myths, and signs associated with the disease, as well as how to conduct self-exams. Moreover, Dr. Jeremy Brauer, a spokesperson for the Skin Cancer Foundation, was a part of a survey that found a lack of awareness specifically around cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, discussing why this may be the case.
