| Description: | Most people living in Southern California are familiar with skin cancer, but melanoma, its most deadly form, is not as well understood. Prevention and diagnosis of melanoma are not clear-cut and the incidence and death rates are rising. Today melanoma affects one person in 34. Guests will also have the opportunity to use the ''DermaScan'' skin assessment device to view sun damage to their skin, which is often invisible to the naked eye. |
