The Foundation makes its recommendations based on independent review of available research, careful consideration of the latest data and verification with skin cancer experts. The Foundation accepts grants and funding for general and administrative support and to sustain specific education programs. However, the Foundation does not cede editorial influence to any outside organization or individual, regardless of donor support.  We expect to update and polish online content after its initial publication to reflect the latest statistics available and correct any stylistic errors. We do not edit social media posts outside of a reasonable timeframe and will not flag every change for followers; however, we will add an appropriate acknowledgment of correction if new information has revealed a significant error in an earlier version of our content. The Foundation strives to correct any errors as quickly as possible and will take appropriate steps to rectify the situation on our website and on any social media channels where we reference the materials.  ## Sun & Skin News [Gordon Ramsay’s Skin Cancer: The News Heard Around the World](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/gordon-ramsays-skin-cancer-the-news-heard-around-the-world/)![Gordon Ramsay]() [Healthy Lifestyle](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/category/healthy-lifestyle/) [Skin Cancer Information](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/category/skin-cancer-information/) ### [Gordon Ramsay’s Skin Cancer: The News Heard Around the World](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/gordon-ramsays-skin-cancer-the-news-heard-around-the-world/) [Behind the Lab Coat: Our 2024 Research Grant Awardees](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/behind-the-lab-coat-our-2024-research-grant-awardees/)![A woman wearing safety goggles and a lab coat uses a pipette to transfer liquid to a test tube in a lab.]() [Skin Cancer Information](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/category/skin-cancer-information/) ### [Behind the Lab Coat: Our 2024 Research Grant Awardees](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/behind-the-lab-coat-our-2024-research-grant-awardees/) [SPECIAL REPORT: The Dangers of Skin Cancer for Outdoor Workers](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/special-report-the-dangers-of-skin-cancer-for-outdoor-workers/)![Tree cutters hanging on ropes in tree]() [Skin Cancer Information](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/category/skin-cancer-information/) ### [SPECIAL REPORT: The Dangers of Skin Cancer for Outdoor Workers](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/special-report-the-dangers-of-skin-cancer-for-outdoor-workers/) Last updated: June 2026 Open menu Menu Close menu SearchSearch ```json {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/media-and-press\/","url":"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/media-and-press\/","name":"Press Room - The Skin Cancer Foundation","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/media-and-press\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/media-and-press\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/SCFLogo2020Web2020.jpg","datePublished":"2019-02-14T16:00:32+00:00","dateModified":"2026-06-10T13:14:56+00:00","description":"Get the latest skin cancer news, background information and story leads.
