Melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer, is now the most common cancer in young 1 women, the country's leading cancer organization said Wednesday. Skin cancer has 2 cervical cancer as the top cancer striking women in their 20s, according to the latest data from Cancer Research United Kingdom.
The trend is particularly 3since younger people are not generally those most susceptible to melanoma. Rates of skin cancer are 4 highest in people over age 75.
