Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Skin Cancer".

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Skin cancer, a type of cancer that affects the skin. It occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, which can be caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It usually appears on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun, such as the face and neck. It tends to grow slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 16% of cases. It also usually appears on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, and hands. It can grow quickly and has a higher risk of spreading to other parts of the body than basal cell carcinoma.

Melanoma is the least common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 4% of cases, but it is the most dangerous. It can occur anywhere on the body and is often characterized by changes in the size, shape, or color of a mole or other skin growth. It can spread quickly to other parts of the body and can be fatal if not treated early.

What is Skin Cancer? Skin cancer is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in your skin.
Slide 5-

Occurrence Most common cancer in the U.S 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime Largely preventable
Slide 6-

Who is at Risk Light skin color, hair color, eye color, freckles Genetics Certain types of moles Long-term sun exposure History of childhood sunburns
Slide 7-

What Causes Skin Cancer Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main cause Artificially-produced UV radiation Chemicals
Slide 8-

Types of Skin Cancer Pre-Cancerous Actinic keratosis Cancerous Squamous cell carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma Melanoma Others
Slide 9-

Actinic Keratosis A pre-cancerous condition of thick, scaly patches of sun-damaged skin.
Slide 10-

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Begins in squamous cells which are found in the surface of the skin They are thin, flat cells that look like fish scales Approximately 20% of all skin cancers
Slide 11-

Squamous Cell Cancer Warning Signs Scaly Red Patch Elevated with Central Depression Sore that Persists
Slide 12-

Basal Cell Carcinoma Skin cancer that arises from basal cells, small round cells found in the lower part of the skin (epidermis). Over 75% of all skin cancers Slow-growing Generally treatable
Slide 13-

Basal Cell Cancer Warning Signs Small, smooth, pale, or waxy shiny lump Firm, red lump A lump that bleeds or develops a crust
Slide 14-

Check In Quiz Thick, scaly patches of sun-damaged skin #1 #2 Persistent, scaly red patch sometimes crusts or bleeds #3 Red growth with indentation in center
Slide 15-

Melanoma A skin cancer that arises in a pigment producing cell Usually begins in a mole Deadliest form of skin cancer 5% of all skin cancers Can be found anywhere on the body
Slide 16-

Benign Mole or Melenoma NORMAL How Do I Tell The Difference? ABNORMAL

ABCDEs of Melanoma Screening “D” = DIAMETER
Slide 21-

ABCDEs of Melanoma Screening “E” = Elevation NORMAL
Slide 22-

How is Skin Cancer Found? Self-examination Exams and Doctors visits Early detection is KEY
Slide 23-

Treatment The Physician will: Review medical history and perform a physical Determine what type of cancer Then treat the cancer with: topical medication laser, freezing, and various surgeries radiation and/or chemotherapy
Slide 24-

Prevention Avoid Artificial Sun Tanning/sun lamps Limit Sun Exposure Avoid midday sun Apply sunscreens often (at least 30 SPF) Use UVA/UVB blocking SUNGLASSES
Slide 25-

Remember Clouds DON’T protect you! Sand, water, snow, and ice magnify exposure Increased altitude = increased exposure
Slide 26-

What else can you do? Ask for complete skin exam with physical Do not self-diagnose, see your doctor right away if you find: A new mole in an adult A sore that doesn’t heal A suspicious change in the appearance of any skin feature A mole fails the ABCDE screening
