Benefits of a 2-Minute Cancer Test

In 2007, Glamour published a feature about skin cancer that we all need to be reminded of—how to avoid it, how to spot it. After it hit newsstands, something remarkable happened...


All told, 23 Glamour readers said that the magazine's self-test had helped them spot a weird mole that turned out to be cancer or precancer.


"People always ask me, How did you know, out of all those freckles, that that spot was melanoma?'" wrote Monica Kane, 33, of Bethel, Connecticut.

"I tell them Glamour!" We're thankful so many women got that information in time, and we want you to have it too. So on these four pages, you'll find an updated version of last year's self-check, along with the latest news about skin cancer detection and prevention.






 

 

In memory of Ellen Gray, who died on October 5, 2007, surrounded by family and friends—three days after her 29th birthday, one year after she'd been diagnosed with melanoma, and less than six months after she'd written to Glamour.
