Panel Examines Impact of Public Figures on Cancer Awareness
Uwe Reinhardt, Ph.D., remembered how he was swept up by the news of U.S. Sen. John McCains (R-Ariz.) melanoma last August. Around that time, Reinhardt noticed that his toe had turned black. He usually walks around his house without shoes on and wondered if he simply stubbed his toe. Much to his surprise, when he discussed it with his wife, who had kept up with news of McCains melanoma, she told him that it could be a subungual melanoma, a very rare type of melanoma.
