THREE TYPES OF SKIN CANCER MAN SUFFERED THE MOST FREQUENTLY

Three types of skin cancer that often affects people generally, including:

1.   Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

Is a type of skin cancer is most common. This type of cancer has not spread (metastasize) other body gets, but cancer cells can grow and cause damage to surrounding skin tissue. Skin color is bright and often exposed to sunlight glowing both suspected as the cause of Basal Cell Carcinoma. Other factors that also may be the cause of this cancer type is a weak immune system (both the impact of other diseases or medications), burns, X-ray beam.

• Signs and Symptoms

Parts of the body the cancerous basal cells are usually the face, neck and scalp. The signs of this type of cancer is a lump a little shiny, reddish-colored with a slightly raised edge blackish, abnormalities such as scarring and blisters / sores that do not heal.

• The type of cancer diagnosis

Single method to ensure that basal cell cancer doctor will perform a clinical and histopathologic examination by taking samples of the skin that is considered as the cancerous tissue (biopsy) for examination under a microscope.

• Therapy and Treatment

If the diagnosis has been established clearly that people develop skin cancer basal cell type, then the action taken is usually surgery or removal of skin tissue (cancer) is complete, or can be with the action of radiation. Other methods are also often done is frozen surgical, surgical electrical, laser, photodynamic and with both drugs topically applied or injected (chemotherapy).

2.   Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

Is a type of skin cancer affects more men, especially the elderly (seniors). This is the type of skin cancer in which malignant cells occurs epidermal keratinocytes, is the second most common skin cancer. SCC of skin cancer can spread to other body gets, generally suffered by those in tropical regions.

As with any disease Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), this type of skin cancer is also suspected due to sunlight (dominant), Immune weak body, viruses, chemicals and scar tissue can also cause this disease. The signs and symptoms is to have abnormalities in the form of lumps or sores that do not heal. Diagnosis is established by the same method in KSB, as well as therapy and treatment measures tend to be similar to basal cell cancer.

3.   Malignant melanoma (MM)

It is a type of skin cancer is the most virulent and potentially lethal. In America, the data obtained six of the seven patients died of cancer. And the number of people who develop increased from year to year. Malignant Melanoma can develop from a mole arise existing or newly emerging.

• Signs and Symptoms

This information is very important for those who have a mole that then either change the color, size or shape, Moles sometimes itch and bleed when scratched. These cancer cells grow from melanocytes, the skin cells that function to produce melanin pigment.

Cancer is characterized by ABCD, A = asymmetric, irregular shapes. B = Border or uneven edges as well. C = color that varies from one area to another. Can be brownish to black. Even in certain cases found to be white, red and blue. D = Diameter greater than 6 mm.

• Diagnosis of Malignant Melanoma

Enforcement of diagnosis in cases of this type of skin cancer as well as both types of skin cancer in the upper (BCC and SCC), ie the measures biopsy for examination under a microscope.

• Therapy and Treatment

Malignant Melanoma is a type of skin cancer the most malignant, can be spread assigned to other bodies such as the lymph glands. Action taken on this type of cancer is complete removal of cancerous tissue by surgery, if it has been known to occur deployment is required further surgery to remove surrounding tissue. If cancer cells are found to spread to lymph glands, then inevitably glans also be removed.
