The Modern Family actor revealed that his dermatologist found "a bit of skin cancer" on his neck. “Reminder to stay up to date on your dermatology checks… especially if you're fair like me. I always wind up getting something taken from me, every time I go. 😩."

Donal Logue of Sons of Anarchy had squamous cell carcinoma. “A sample was cut out of my noggin for biopsy.” Dr was worried about how long it had been active in the subcutaneous part of his forehead: the danger zone. Fair-skinned and red-haired, Logue is much more cautious now.

Christie Brinkley was treated for basal cell carcinoma. Brinkley's diagnosis came after she noticed a new bump on her skin while applying makeup. “I had great doctors that removed the cancer and stitched me up to perfection like a haute couture Dior.” Early detection is key !

The X-Men star was diagnosed with melanoma below his eye. They also found a tumor on the back of his head. 3 cancer surgeries. His wife, Tanya, was also diagnosed with skin cancer - so they fought together. Sadly, Tanya has since passed way from the disease.

The GMA alum was diagnosed with skin cancer. He recently underwent Mohs surgery to remove a spot on his cheek, which turned out to be larger and deeper than initially anticipated. This is not his first tangle with skin cancer - which he attributed to past tanning habits.

The dr scraped an area under his eye and examined the cells under a microscope. "He comes back about 20 minutes later and says the C word... I asked him what kind of cancer and he said. Basal Cell Carcinoma. I told him to stop calling me dirty names. He laughed."

The movement to give the American public access to more sunscreen options is gaining momentum. But we’re not there yet — and timing is critical. Spread the word and help us reach 5,000 signatures by September 2! We are more than halfway there! skincancer.org/get-involved/s…

LAG-3 stands for lymphocyte-activation gene 3. It’s a signal (or checkpoint) found on the surface of T cells - your immune system’s frontline fighters. LAG-3 is the third immune checkpoint to be clinically validated in melanoma, after PD-1 & CTLA-4.

As summer fades, many begin to pack away their sunscreen - but UV rays don’t take a vacation. 🌤️ In a recent MRA survey of 2,000 Americans, we found that 1 in 5 stop using sunscreen after Labor Day, and only 3 in 10 consider it a winter essential.
