We strive to offer professionals the most current information and resources in skin cancer prevention and sun safety education.
Informational Brochures
The Skin Cancer Institute has developed several educational brochures. We offer information about skin cancer, sunscreen facts, sun protection for outdoor workers, and how to protect children from the sun.
These materials are available at a nominal cost for use at your practice or facility. View our order form HERE.
To receive a sample of these brochures or to place an order, please contact Kathleen Molinar at kmolinar@arizona.edu or call 1-888-724-2749.
Educational Video
A collaborative effort of the Arizona Cancer Center Skin Cancer Institute, the College of Nursing and the Office of Instruction and Assessment (OIA) resulted in the 12-minute video. The video features a detailed demonstration of how to perform a skin self-exam, what to look for, and testimonials from skin cancer survivors. The video is used for patient and community education in skin cancer detection.
