GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Dec. 14, 2011 -- /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation, www.molliesfund.org [1] has announced the launch of an Android OS version of their information skin cancer app which was previously launched for iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad). The new Android version can be downloaded free from the Android Market.
Mollie's Fund, with the assistance of MCS Advertising and Arc Design Studio, created this interactive guide to provide users with facts about the evolution of skin cancer and melanoma. The application illustrates a self-exam, exhibits mole changes and reinforces behaviors to protect against skin cancer. The program emphasizes the necessity of a professional dermatology examination and includes a monthly skin check log to keep track of monthly examinations.
Current estimates state over 130 million Android users will be able to receive this valuable health resource in addition to over 200 million iOS users.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. One person each hour dies from melanoma. Melanoma can be cured---if diagnosed and treated early. This initiative supports the mission of Mollie's Fund of creating programs for education and prevention of skin cancer and melanoma.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com
Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. ( See our full terms of service here. )
Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
• Don't flag other users' comments just because you don't agree with their point of view. Please only flag comments that violate these guidelines.
You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "Report Abuse" link to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com . Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them.
