Increasing skin cancer among the U.S. military

Tampa, Florida — May is Military Appreciation Month and Skin Cancer Awareness Month, raising awareness among doctors about the key issues they say are growing concerns about the US military.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, men and women in the military are 60% more likely to develop skin cancer.

“I’m not shocked by it. We spend a lot of time in the sun,” said Marine Corps veteran Roy Breitenbach.

Breitenbach is in his 80s. He has basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and has been fighting skin cancer for 15 years.

“It’s the result of being in the sun, and at the time there was no such thing as sunscreen. We were just in the sun,” he said.

Dermatologists said veterans around Roy’s age were one of the main reasons for being diagnosed with skin cancer.

“People are exposed to the sun for long periods of time and develop skin cancer years later,” said Dr. Seth Forman.

He owns a Forecare Medical Center. About 10 of his patients are veterans. He said the disease also affected men and women in the military.

Most skin cancer patients undergo several different treatments and surgeries, and sometimes the cancer comes back.

“There are patients in their 60s and 70s who have had 10 to 20 skin cancer surgeries, and they are fed up with it,” said Dr. Forman.

Well, there is a new remedy there, which is coming to Tampa Bay. It is called surface electron therapy.

Dr. Forman will be the first physician to provide treatment in the Bay Area.

“Electrons have energy, and the energy itself targets skin cancer and cancer cells. You can get rid of skin cancer without actual surgery.”

According to the Cancer Center, the cure rate for electron therapy is 90-98%.

Dr. Forman is currently building a new section in his office for treatment. Construction is expected to be completed within a few weeks and he will begin treatment in June.
