Company calls on healthcare community & policymakers to support a new national registry for the nation's most common cancer type

BURR RIDGE, Ill., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SkinCure Oncology, the leader in providing a comprehensive cancer center model for the delivery of Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (Image-Guided SRT or IGSRT) for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), presented as the GentleCure Experience℠, today reported a new data analysis indicating that the number of Americans with nonmelanoma skin cancer is far greater than traditionally thought. "Those old figures are woefully out of date and grossly understate the true impact of the disease," says SkinCure Oncology Chief Executive Officer Kerwin Brandt.

For more than a decade, health professionals and patient advocates have cited a key statistic in their discussion of NMSC. Their north star has been the statement that 3.3 million Americans are diagnosed with some 5.4 million NMSC lesions annually. Today, 14 years after the underlying data were collected, a fresh analysis of current data shows that 4.7 million Americans are diagnosed with NMSC annually, translating to an estimated 6.7 to 7.7 million lesions.

According to Brandt, "This significantly higher estimate of skin cancer incidence, an increase of more than 40 percent, underscores the critical importance of educating the public about skin cancer and providing them access to all available treatment options."

The lower statistics were reported in a 2015 study that analyzed data from 2012. This new benchmark of 4.7 million patients is a conservative estimate, based on four methodologies:

- Demographic Realities: NMSC heavily impacts older individuals, with 80 percent of cases occurring in those age 60 and older. Since 2012, the U.S. population age 65 and older has surged by nearly 50 percent, from 43.1 million to roughly 64 million in 2026. Factoring this in while freezing individual risk at 2012 levels yields 4.7 million patients.

- Conservative Compound Growth: While the period 2006-2012 saw 7 percent annual growth in the number of affected individuals, applying just one-third of that trend (2.5 percent annually) up to 2026 produces the same 4.7 million figure.

- Independent Survey Corroboration: Historical data from the federal Medical Expenditure Panel Survey shows NMSC patient numbers had already crossed the 4 million threshold more than a decade ago, indicating that the 4.7 million metric is likely conservative.

- The Upper Bound Limit: Extrapolating the true 2006 - 2012 trajectory linearly into 2026 would place the current number closer to 5.9 million individuals, indicating that 4.7 million is a conservative baseline.

Brandt continued, "The analysis we offer today should open a fresh conversation among the healthcare community, policymakers, and industry stakeholders about instituting comprehensive reporting of NMSC cases to a national registry and establishing appropriate insurance reimbursement policies to encourage early-stage identification and treatment of lesions with all recognized, FDA-cleared treatments, including Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy. The millions of patients dealing with skin cancer today deserve a healthcare system that counts them all and appropriately prioritizes their care."

At the community level, this funding will primarily support expansion of Primary Care access points in Attica, IN and Monticello, IN in the first half of CY2027 with further expansion planned next year.

"This investment reflects a shared commitment to improving the health and well-being of rural Hoosiers," said Dan Arens, Chief Executive Officer of Valley Oaks Health.

The five-year initiative emphasizes innovation, workforce development, infrastructure improvements, and regional collaboration to improve health outcomes across Indiana.

Valley Oaks Health remains committed to its mission of improving the health and happiness of our community, one person at a time, by delivering accessible, high-quality care regardless of an individual's ability to pay.

Industry veterans Anthony Brennan and Greg Wille join Explore to help lead new business venture

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Explore Industries, a global leader in the swimming pool industry, today announced its expansion into the packaged pool market, adding steel walls and vinyl liners to its growing portfolio. Industry veterans Anthony Brennan and Greg Wille have joined Explore to help drive growth with this new venture.

The move represents a highly synergistic expansion for Explore Industries and its dealer network. Many pool dealers carry both fiberglass and packaged pools, enabling them to match prospective pool owners with the product that best fits their needs, preferences and budget. By participating in both categories, Explore sees an opportunity to help dealers optimize that experience and serve a broader range of pool buyers.

The packaged pool business also aligns naturally with Explore's pool equipment and Integra Pool Covers businesses, creating opportunities to drive growth across each.

"Explore has built its reputation by challenging ourselves to design better products, manufacture them to exceptional standards and create an outstanding experience for our dealers and pool owners," said David Pain, Global Chief Executive Officer of Explore Industries. "We see a tremendous opportunity to bring those same principles to the packaged pool market. The synergies across our dealer network, pool equipment and pool cover businesses make this a natural fit for Explore, with the potential to drive growth across our organization and for our dealers."

Experienced Industry Leadership

Anthony Brennan joins Explore Industries in Business Development Director (Packaged Pools) following a 40-year career with Imperial Pools. Most recently, he served as CEO of Imperial Pools, Saratoga Spas and The Vinyl Works. Throughout his career, he has built extensive experience in manufacturing, distribution, leadership and business development while helping guide those businesses through changing industry conditions and periods of significant growth.

Greg Wille joins Explore Industries as General Manager (Packaged Pools), bringing 23 years of pool industry experience spanning service, construction, retail, distribution and manufacturing. He most recently served as Chief of Staff at Imperial Pools and previously spent 10 years working alongside Explore Industries Chief Sales Officer Mike Kennedy.

"Entering a new category successfully requires more than great products; it requires people who understand the industry, understand dealers and know how to build a business for the long term," said Mike Kennedy, Chief Sales Officer of Explore Industries. "Anthony and Greg bring an extraordinary depth of experience to Explore. Anthony's leadership and four decades of industry knowledge, combined with Greg's broad operational experience and understanding of virtually every side of the pool business, give us an exceptional team to help build this venture. I am thrilled to be working with both of them."

The addition of Anthony Brennan and Greg Wille brings deep packaged pool experience to Explore Industries' highly accomplished team. The combination of their industry expertise with Explore's strong dealer relationships, manufacturing capabilities and commitment to product excellence creates a powerful foundation for success in the packaged pool market.

"Our goal isn't simply to enter another category," Pain added. "It's to bring something meaningful to it. We believe our experience, our people and our commitment to dealers put us in a strong position to do exactly that."

RateSecure Takes a New Approach to Financing Silicon Valley's Complex Wealth

Silicon Valley lender is building a private-bank-style mortgage platform for founders, self-employed entrepreneurs, business owners and high-net-worth borrowers who don't fit traditional agency underwriting

DANVILLE, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As Non-QM mortgage lending continues to expand, RateSecure sees the market separating into two distinct segments: traditional alternative-credit lending and a private-bank-style approach designed for financially strong borrowers with complex income and wealth profiles.

"There are really two Non-QM markets emerging — traditional alternative-credit lending and private-bank-style lending for wealthy borrowers," said Gurp Bhandal, Founder and CPO of RateSecure. "We built RateSecure around the second."

For RateSecure, this is often a documentation gap, not a credit gap.

"Traditional mortgage underwriting works well for borrowers with predictable W-2 income, but entrepreneurship creates a different financial profile," said Sam Bhandal, President and CEO of RateSecure. "A successful business owner shouldn't become a difficult mortgage borrower simply because their income doesn't fit neatly into a conventional calculation."

For many self-employed borrowers, legitimate business deductions, reinvestment and multiple income sources can complicate qualification without necessarily indicating weaker financial strength.

Private-Bank Thinking at Silicon Valley Speed

Understanding a complex borrower is only part of the equation. In Silicon Valley's ultra-competitive housing market, execution matters just as much as loan structure.

RateSecure is built to close complex loans in less than 10 days, giving founders, entrepreneurs and business owners the ability to compete on speed alongside borrowers with traditional W-2 income.

Complex wealth shouldn't put a buyer at a competitive disadvantage.

"When a family finds the right home, the complexity of how they've built their wealth shouldn't be the reason they lose it," Gurp Bhandal said. "Our job is to understand the borrower, structure the financing correctly and execute at the speed the market demands."

A Different Evolution of Non-QM

RateSecure believes the growth of self-employment, entrepreneurship and complex personal wealth is changing the role Non-QM plays in the mortgage industry.

Historically, Non-QM has often been viewed as an alternative for borrowers unable to qualify for conventional financing. RateSecure believes that definition increasingly misses an important part of the market.

"Non-QM isn't simply about borrowers who can't qualify conventionally," Gurp Bhandal said. "There's a growing segment of financially strong borrowers who simply need a more sophisticated way to document income and wealth."

For RateSecure, those borrowers aren't exceptions to its lending model. They are the reason the model exists.

"We're building a mortgage company around founders, entrepreneurs, business owners and high-net-worth borrowers," Sam Bhandal said. "The goal is to bring the level of understanding and individualized structuring associated with private banking into a modern mortgage platform."
