Beskrivelse
Nearly one in five persons will get skin cancer over their lifetime. Early detection and treatment of skin cancer greatly increase the likelihood of complete recovery. Skin cancer may be treated with excision, cryotherapy, Mohs surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Skin growths should be regularly examined for any changes in size, shape, or color. Make an appointment with your dermatologist once a year for a comprehensive skin evaluation.
The skin that has been exposed to the sun is where skin cancer, which is defined as the abnormal multiplication of skin cells, most often occurs. On areas of your skin, such as your neck and chest, that are seldom exposed to sunlight, this common form of cancer may also manifest itself.
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma are the three different kinds of skin cancer. The most common kind of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma.
UV radiation exposure should be limited or avoided, along with the use of sunscreen, to help reduce your risk of skin cancer. If you watch out for strange changes in your skin, you may catch skin cancer in its early stages. You have the greatest chance of effectively treating your skin cancer if you get an early diagnosis.
