New York Times Article: Hazards: Indoor Tanning Is Linked to Skin Cancer, May 31,2010

In response to the above article that appeared in the NY Times on May 31,2010, we firmly believe that there is a link between indoor tanning and skin cancer. We encourage our patients not to go tanning either inside or outside and to protect themselves from the sun with clothes, hats and broad spectrum appropriate sunscreen. We hope to see you soon for your skin cancer screening.
