[more ▼] Actinic keratoses are common lesions caused by the cumulative action of the sun’s rays on the skin of predisposed individuals. They generally develop in seniors, but they may be earlier in those who have an occupational activity outside or who spend a lot of spare time under the sun. The depletion of the ozone layer might also be involved.

[more ▼] Background: Although the incidence of melanoma is increasing and many informative campaigns have been organized. The general population is still little informed about this tumour. Aims: To organize a media campaign, with more relevant information and the opportunity for free skin inspections. Methods: A ‘Task Force’ organized a media campaign in April 1999 and convinced 65% of the Belgian dermatologists to give up 4 h of their time to do free skin examinations for skin cancer on Monday 26 April 1999; it was called ‘Melanoma Monday’. Results: A total 2767 patients were screened. We found 25 melanomas and suspected 59 basal cell carcinomas. In the following 4 weeks another 141 melanomas were found. These 166 melanomas found in one month represent 15 –20% of the total number of melanomas per year in Belgium. Summary: A media campaign with relevant information combined with screening opportunities can lead to the early detection of melanomas in a large number of patients and can continue to alert people at risk in the following weeks.
