Doctor Who Survived Cancer Shares Melanoma Warning over 'Strange' Moles

  • Mika Stambaugh, a Chicago woman, discovered melanoma after a dermatologist’s visit that left a large facial wound, starting a months-long ordeal.
  • Her melanoma diagnosis resulted from years without sunscreen use and repeated dermatology visits that included tissue removal and cancer treatment.
  • Now cancer free, Stambaugh raises awareness through Mika's Melanoma Monday, promoting early skin checks during Skin Cancer Awareness Month in May.
  • Melanoma causes the majority of skin cancer deaths, with an estimated 7,650 fatalities in 2022, while early detection yields a 99% five-year survival rate before lymph node spread.
  • Her story underscores the importance of sunscreen and monitoring moles for changes, encouraging public and healthcare initiatives to improve early melanoma detection and outcomes.
