Welcome

The Skin Cancer Institute unites The University of Arizona Cancer Center’s many skin cancer prevention activities, bringing together innovative research, clinical care, education and community outreach.

Our mission is to prevent and cure skin cancer.

We seek to:

  • Increase public awareness for behavior changes about sun safety and skin cancer detection.
     
  • Provide education and training for skin cancer patients, high-risk individuals, students and providers.
     
  • Improve patient care through increased access and referral to dermatology clinic resources.
     
  • Increase knowledge of the origins, prevention and treatment of skin cancer through research.
