The Portuguese Association of Skin Cancer (APCC) is an organization focused on raising awareness of skin cancer and promoting prevention in Portugal. Its work centers on public education about sun exposure, skin protection, and recognizing signs of skin cancer and actinic keratosis. The association shares practical guidance, educational literature, posters, videos, scientific texts, and opinion articles through its website and public campaigns.

APCC organizes seasonal initiatives such as “Pele e Sol,” which works with municipalities across mainland Portugal and the islands to circulate information about sun safety, common beliefs about the sun, and skin aging. It also supports Euromelanoma activities in collaboration with the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology and with support from the Directorate-General of Health. These activities include public information materials and details of participating services where people can arrange a screening. For schools, APCC has provided training for educators and teachers to encourage solar-protection practices in school activities. The association also publishes event resources and maintains useful links for the public.
