Screening for skin cancer at a county fair.
Six skin cancer detection clinics were held at a county fair booth in Turlock, California during August, 1973. Examination of sun-exposed skin areas in 605 people showed potential skin cancer in 28.6 percent of people 25 years of age or older. Of the people examined, 135 were referred to their own physicians for follow-up diagnosis and treatment of skin lesions.
