Dear Friends,

An estimated 87,110 new cases of invasive melanoma will be diagnosed this year. Closeto 10,000 victims will succumb to this disease. The incidence of melanoma amongchildren, adolescents and young adults has reached epidemic proportions, increasingmore than 250% over the past four decades, with young females at the highest risk, according to a 2015 study at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY. The vast majorityof melanomas are caused by the sun. One UK study found that about 86% of melanomascan be attributed to UV radiation from the sun. (Parkin, DM, Mesher, D. and Sasieni, P.)

We know that prevention and early diagnosis are the most vital strategies in winningour war against melanoma. Our award-winning partners at Area 23 have created amyriad of hard-hitting, provocative public service announcements to serve as a wake-up(or shake-up) to ensure that the public become aware of the effects of skin cancer.Our “Melanoma Monster” showcasing the beast lurking under the surface of a molecoerces the viewer to get a skin check. These arresting ads have been effectively exhibitedthroughout Manhattan and at JFK airport. With our “Mr. Sun” video, we challengedyoung parents to imagine what might be a fatal result of careless sunning habits. Thiscampaign was viewed by thousands of taxi riders in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia,San Francisco and Washington, DC. The major TV networks included it in their publicservice rotations. Area 23’s Creative Team is currently engaged in another incendiaryprint promotion for Mollie’s Fund. We are confident that our upcoming PSA willignite a national conversation about skin cancer prevention!

Yankee and Met fans continued to learn the importance of sun safety through sched-uled messages at the game and listening to their channel network and mobile devices.During the summer, Long Island buses traveling through the Hamptons and North Forkdisplay George Pappas’ iconic bikini poster, “Odds of being attacked by a shark 1 in65,000,000. Odds of developing skin cancer 1 in 5.” And we applaud Victoria Siegel,RN, EdD, for her ongoing commitment to educating nurses about skin cancer. She wasthe impetus behind the National Student Nurses’ Association’s resolution to increasenursing education on sun protective behaviors.

We look forward to our November Melanoma Action Coalition meeting in Chicago.This conference will provide us with the most updated information on current therapiesand those in the pipeline. Networking with our peers in the melanoma communitygives us the opportunity to learn how we can best use science to promote our mission.

Thank you for your ongoing support and interest during the past seventeen years. Because of your continued loyalty and belief in our mission, we are saving lives!

— Jack, Maggie, Julie, Cara, Johnny and Mary

The Melanoma Monster Startles Pedestrians

Imagine if, while walking in the city, you encountered a 6’panel featuring a realistic monster lurking just below a moleon the skin’s surface? Seeking to capture the attention ofNew Yorkers and holiday tourists, Mollie’s Fund selected 20high traffic NYC locations during December and January topresent our melanoma warning. Cognizant that many peopleassociate skin cancer prevention with warm weather, our intent forthis campaign was to remind viewers that a suspicious moleneeds immediate medical attention.

Melanoma Monster Spotted in Manhattan

Mollie’s Fund Junior Board hosted an awareness event at Maggie’s Place in mid-townManhattan on Thursday, May 25th. The cocktail party was geared at attracting youngprofessionals in the metro area to learn about the dangers of melanoma and how theycan be skin cancer prevention advocates for their generation. Dermatologist Dr. EricSchweiger (Schweiger Dermatology) explained how the iconic Chanel introduced the“fashionable” tan in the 1920’s, initiating a disastrous pattern for tanning practices. Dr.

Schweiger reiterated the classic ABCDE’s (ASYMMETERY, BORDER, COLOR, DIAMETER and EVOLVUTION) warn-ing signs of mole changes. He encouraged the audience to be vigilant about applying sunscreen. Guests were treated toraffles of Yankee and Mets tickets and a basket of Schweiger skin care products. Participants received SPF shirts, sunscreensamples and “Have You Checked Your Skin Lately?” brochures.

Jack and Maggie, along with othersteering committee members, have ledthe formation of the Melanoma ActionCoalition (MAC), a community-basedmelanoma organization. Twenty-sevenmelanoma groups and individuals fromthe United States and Canada haveunited to provide mutual support andcollaboration. The steering committeeconferences on a monthly basis anddiscusses skin cancer and melanomaneeds that impact members. We facili-tate and sponsor initiatives frommembers that encourage skin cancereducation, prevention and melanomaresearch. At our February meeting inWashington DC, Victoria Siegel, EdD,MSN, RN, CNS, a member of theMollie Fund Advisory Board, presentedher proposal to update the electronicmedical records (EMR) form toinclude skin cancer assessment andeducation. Jason Luke, MD Universityof Chicago oncologist and researcher,discussed clinical trials both from thepatient and research perspective.MAC’s November Chicago meeting willfeature scientific updates includinghighlights from the October BrisbaneSociety for Melanoma ResearchConference. We will be discussing howwe can best use science to promote ourmissions, including strategies for pre-vention and awareness.

The MRA has giftedmore than $88 million for research.The treatment breakthroughs that weare witnessing now offer hope forpatients with metatastic disease.

New Life-Saving Breakthroughs in Melanoma Treatment

A new wave of optionsPrior to 2011, the mainstays for treatment of melanomas were either surgery,chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Starting in 2011, however, thingschanged for melanoma patients with innovative treatments bringing betteroutcomes and hope. In the past six years, a total of 11 new treatments formelanoma have been approved by the FDA, including immunotherapiesthat re-energize the immune system to fight the cancer and targeted therapiesaimed at destroying melanoma cells that have a particular mutated gene.

Working with the bodyImmunotherapy works by stimulating the immune system to fight cancer.This is very different from other cancer treatments, which act on the tumorcells directly. Immunotherapies may either be systemic, meaning that thedrugs travel through the bloodstream, or local, where physicians inject thedrug into or near an accessible tumor.

Immunotherapies offer enormous promise to patients — even those withadvanced melanoma that has spread to multiple sites in the body. What isalso exciting is that while initially only available for melanoma, physiciansnow use immunotherapies first approved in melanoma to treat lung, kid-ney, head and neck and blood cancers, and immunotherapy drugs arebeing tested in dozens of other cancers.

Precision medicineTargeted therapy works by targeting parts of cancer cells that differ fromnormal cells. The drugs slow the growth and spread of melanoma by blockingthe function of mutated molecules. If you have advanced melanoma, yourphysician will have your melanoma tested for these mutations. Targetedtherapy drugs are taken by mouth and are often used with one another in combination.

Marching towards curesCompared to just six years ago, advanced melanoma patients face muchbetter odds because of targeted therapies and immunotherapies. In fact,one-third of those treated with one of the latest immunotherapies are aliveat five years — twice what would have been seen when surgery, radiationand chemotherapy were the only options. Despite this progress and thenewfound hope, researchers and physicians need to continue their worktowards improving outcomes and bringing us closer to long term survivaland cures for all melanoma patients.

At the 65th Annual Conference of Student Nurses in Dallas, April 5-9, Teresa McDavid and Emily Rosen of the MolloyCollege Student Nursing Association presented a resolution in support of increasing nursing education regarding sun

protective behaviors and signs of skin cancer. TheStudent Nursing Association is a 60,000 memberorganization that fosters professional development.The Student Nursing Association (NSNA) is the voiceof our future nurses.

This resolution cites that primary prevention is criticalto the morbidity and mortality of skin cancer. Nurseshave a responsibility to teach their patients aboutwearing sunscreen, protective clothing, sunglassesand staying out of the sun during high UV hours. TheNSNA encourages all of its members to advocate foreducation regarding skin cancer and sun protective

behaviors within nursing education. Copies ofthis resolution were sent to the American Academyof Dermatology, the National League of Nursing,American Nurses Association, the AmericanAssociation of College Nursing and other appro-priate professional organizations.

Mollie’s Fund Brings Skin Cancer Education to HFMAHealthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) is the nation’s premiermembership organization for healthcare finance leaders. With more than40,000 members, this non-profit provides education, analysis and guidance tohelp improve the healthcare industry.

Last November, Mollie’s Fund was invited to present a skin cancer preventionseminar in Mineola for local chapter members. Maggie spoke about Mollie,the impetus for the foundation’s work, mission and goals. David Woods,Director of Patient Financial Services

at the NY Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mt. Sinai, shared his personal journey withmelanoma. Dr. Victoria Siegel explained the role of nurses in skin cancer preven-tion. Her suggested update to the current EMR (Electronic Medical Records) toinclude skin assessment and skin cancer education is a result of her extensiveresearch in the role and responsibility of the nurse in preventing skin cancer.Dr. Peter O’Neill, Winthrop University Hospital’s Chief of Dermatology, focusedon different types of skin cancer management and treatment. The presentationstriggered many participant questions. After the seminar, Wendy Leo, the coordi-nator of the program, said: “I think your organization does a phenomenal job ineducating individuals about skin cancer!”

Did You Know?

SunscreenSunburns occur because of invisible UV radiation waves, that damages skinmolecules, most significantly DNA. One of the reasons skin peels after a badsunburn is because skin cells were destroyed.

The compounds found in sunscreen reflect, scatter or absorb the radiation.The level of protection offered by the product is measured in factors. If yourunprotected time limit for sun exposure is 15 minutes before burning, an SPF30 would hypothetically allow you to remain outside for 30x that duration.Put another way, you would gain 7 1/2 hours of protection. Of course, theseproducts work only if you put enough on and reapply often.

Choose a sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection. UVA rays cause premature aging, wrinkles andbrown spots. Skin cancer is often the result of harmful UB rays that penetrate deeper into the skin’s surface. Darker skinpeople have a higher baseline protection factor but not an unstoppable UV barrier. Everyone, aged six months and oldershould use sunscreen!

There are a range of products – lotions, creams, gels, sticks and sprays which offer a variety of applications. Sprays maywork easier on a child, but the coverage may be questionable. Lotions are usually recommended for large applications.People seem to prefer creams for facial protection and sticks are often recommended around the eyes. Sunscreen shouldbe generously applied 15-20 minutes before going outside. The Mayo Clinic advises using 1 ½ ounces (a “shot glass”equivalent), to cover all exposed body parts. The FDA prohibits labeling a sunscreen “waterproof.” A manufacturer maysuggest their product is water resistant but the user should remember that sunscreen needs to be reapplied after swim-ming or sweating. Makeups and shaving lotions often contain SPF protection, but the recommendation is that if you arespending time outdoors, you will also need sunscreen. Sunscreens are developed to last for 3 years. If you have it that longyou’re not using enough! The best sunscreen is one that you will use generously, often and according to label directions.
