(AP) ? As a state with a large number of outdoor workers, Kansas has a problem with skin?cancer.
A 2009 study by the Center for Disease Control shows that more than a million people in the United States have been diagnosed with skin?cancer. That makes it the most common cancer.
Kansas has 9 percent more new melanoma cases than the national average. About 80 Kansans die from skin?cancer every year.
Bill Heer has had several suspicious spots removed from his arms, including a few that were pre-melanoma skin?cancer. The former head agronomist at Kansas State?s South-Central Kansas Research Field recalls burning often while growing up on a farm in the 1950s and 1960s.
Experts say those early burns put people at risk.
