The number of new melanoma skin cancer cases in the UK has passed 20,000 for the first time. Cancer Research UK says most cases are linked to too much ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or sunbeds and can often be prevented by sun safety measures.
Key Facts
In 2022, there were 20,980 new melanoma cases in the UK, the highest number recorded.
Ultraviolet (UV) exposure from sun and sunbeds is a major cause, with about nine out of ten cases thought avoidable.
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer and can be deadly if untreated.
People should protect themselves by using sunscreen (SPF 30+), seeking shade, and covering up in strong sun.
Under-18s are banned from using sunbeds, but some teenagers still access them illegally through contactless payments.
New rules requiring ID checks at sunbeds are being considered to stop underage use.
Women tend to get melanoma younger due to more sun exposure and sunbed use; men have higher rates at older ages linked to long-term exposure.
Early detection of unusual skin changes, like new or changing moles, is important for effective treatment.

The Port of Dover warns travelers to expect delays during the half-term holiday because of new EU border checks. The Entry Exit System (EES), designed to record biometric data like fingerprints and photos, is not fully operational yet, causing longer wait times at French border controls before ferry boarding.
Key Facts
The EU's Entry Exit System (EES) started on April 10 to track travelers entering and leaving Schengen-area countries.
At Dover, French border authorities have not activated biometric machines for car passengers yet.

Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, reached a record high in the UK in 2022 with nearly 21,000 new cases. Experts warn that the numbers will continue to rise due to population growth, ageing, and sun exposure, and they advise people to protect themselves from the sun and check their skin regularly.
Key Facts
In 2022, 20,980 people in the UK were diagnosed with melanoma, the highest number ever recorded.
By 2040, new melanoma cases in the UK could rise to 26,500 per year, increasing by about 23% in men and 26% in women.
Melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in the UK and the most common skin cancer worldwide.
Almost 90% of melanoma cases are caused by too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or sunbeds.
Having five or more sunburns doubles the risk of developing melanoma.
Melanomas often appear on different body parts in men and women: men's melanomas are mostly on the torso, while women's are often on the legs.
Experts recommend protecting skin by seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, using sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and checking the skin for unusual changes.
