Conclusion
Most people are aware of the dangers of skin cancer; however, they often do not take the
necessary precautions.

The reasoning behind this is unclear, but you could reference studies about the overall apathy of the
millennial generation.

Skin cancer (along with other forms of cancer) should be not only acknowledged, but
viewed cautiously and acted upon.

Luckily, skin cancer is preventable and there are many different methods to impede its
progression.
