Sunbeds Linked to Melanoma Surge

A deadly coalition of doctors and cancer survivors is demanding a total ban on sunbeds—everywhere, including private homes—after research shows they dramatically increase melanoma risk, especially for those who start before age thirty-five. With one in twenty teens already using them and over seventy Irish melanomas annually linked to sunbeds, this urgent campaign led by the Royal College of Physicians and others includes a survivor’s harrowing story: Gill Costelloe, now battling stage four melanoma directly tied to her past sunbed use.
