Melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer, is now the most common cancer in young________women, the countrys leading cancer organization said Wednesday.

The trend is particularly________since younger people are not generally those most susceptible to melanoma. Rates of skin cancer are________highest in people over age 75.
But experts worry that increasing numbers of younger people being diagnosed with skin cancer could be the________of a dangerous trend. Women________their 20s make up a small percentage of all patients diagnosed with melanoma in Britain, but nearly a third of all cases occur in people younger than 50.

The organization is starting a SunSmart campaign to warn Britons of the________of being too bronzed.

In the U. K. , Scottish politicians passed legislation banning those under 18 from using tanning beds, though it hasnt yet been implemented. There are no plans for 14 in the rest of the U.K.
The World Health Organization has previously recommended that tanning beds be regulated because of their potential to damage DNA in the skin.
