Skin cancer occurs in the body that are usually not covered clothing, such as the face, hands, arms and ears. That is why, to protect the skin from the sun is considered able to avoid the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, the use of sunscreen was mentioned managed to avoid skin cancer.
Many people who develop skin cancer due to sun without sunscreen, so based on recent studies. The young woman is the figure most likely to experience it, because they tend to think of tanning healthy and attractive. According to American researchers who quoted from the Telegraph, on Monday (2/21/2011).
Professor Sharon Manne of the Centre of Cancer Prevention and Control Program, in New Jersey, United States says, even though it was known they have a family history of melanoma increases the risk of skin cancer, “Many of them still do not feel the need to use a form of sun protection.”
Melanoma is triggered by excessive exposure to UV light, either through sunlight or skin damage. The disease is contagious and is genetic.
He and colleagues interviewed 545 people who had been undergoing treatment for melanoma. In a report will soon be published in the journal BioMed Central Public Health, they concluded, “These findings suggest that family members can not be influenced to change the wear sun protection or exposure to the severity of the risk of cancer or melanoma patients themselves.”
In Britain alone, more than 10 thousand people are diagnosed with malignant melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, each year. This case is two-fold in less than 20 years. This is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, because it has the potential to spread.
If you see an opportunity that is fast enough to survive better, but if left unchecked and the prognosis less. Almost two thousand people die each year from malignant melanoma.
In 2007, Zita Farrelly (29) from Salford in Greater Manchester, died of skin cancer after using a sunbed twice a day from the age of 14 years.
Professor Manne said, “To reduce the incidence of melanoma, we need to reduce the perceived benefits of sunning, and increase the use of sun protection.”
Jessica Harris, senior health information officer, Cancer Research UK said, “Having a family history of melanoma increases the risk of this disease. So it is important that the family of melanoma patients, as well as people who have white skin, blond or red hair, or a mole that much, or pock- spots know how they can reduce the chances of developing skin cancer. ”
“Enjoying the sun safely and avoiding conditions sunburn reduces the risk of skin cancer. The skin is darkened by the sun is a clear sign that your skin has been damaged by UV rays of the sun,” he concluded.
