The Arizona Cancer Prevention and Control Program is searching for volunteers for a study on sun-damaged skin. With Mr. Sun spending most of his time behind the sky's clouds and the rain drowning out afternoon baseball games, most people aren't thinking about melanoma and other skin disorders. The UA research program is seeking men and women over the age of 18 to test the effectiveness of treatments on pre-cancerous, or Actinic Keratoses, sunspots. For a list of specific guidelines regarding case study volunteers please contact the Arizona Health Sciences Center at 321-7745.
