“Unfortunately, skin cancer is spreading among humans. According to the World Health Organisation, the number of new cases is 3% to 7% higher each year. Only in Europe, 54 thousand people suffer from skin cancer every year. Helping to raise awareness of this danger is why I have been a patron of Euromelanoma in Bosnia and Herzegovina ever since I arrived in the country in 2011”, Ambassador Sorensen said at the opening of the Congress.
The Western Balkans countries are in a group of countries with the highest rate of skin cancer in Europe.
