Skin cancer

The disease i am going to talk about is cancer, cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. How does cancer from cancer forms or develops when the body’s normal function for control stops working it happens like this old cells don’t die instead they grow not just any normal growth it’s an out of control type of growth with this growth it destroys the surrounding tissue it could possibly spread to other areas in a process called metastasis how does metastasis do this well it…

Genetic Mutations – Skin Cancer INTRO: DNA is constantly exposed to mutations. Mutations are caused by several factors, including anomalies that are formed during DNA replication or abnormalities that are acquired due to lifestyle and environmental factors (1). Genetic mutations can be categorized into three different areas, these are known as; Inherited, Acquired and De Novo. Inherited mutations come from a parent and are present throughout the affected persons’ entire life. This mutation…

of skin cancer (World Health Organisation IARC 1992). Worryingly recent studies have shown that UV levels have increased due to the reduction of stratospheric ozone (World Meteorological Organization 2010). The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) predicts that in the event of a 10% decrease in stratospheric ozone an additional 304,500 cases of skin cancer will occur globally each year (UNEP 1998). The face is one of the highest risk sites for UV exposure (Wang et al. 2014) and cancers of…

told my mom and she said the bump appeared much larger than before. My parents decided to call a doctor I went to several different doctors only hearing the worst of news. They thought that I had skin cancer. My mom took me to a cancer doctor, to get X-rays done. But in the X-ray they didn’t find skin cancer, they found a large rib pushing into my windpipe. As a child, I never really understood anything they were saying. So I asked my mom, “what’s wrong with me?” She gave me this sad look,…

overcome and these diseases is cancer. Cancer is a human body cells grow abnormally and kills the cell manufacturing to places in the body. The change of the composition and multiply and spread in the body. In this paper we will address to the type of cancer is skin cancer, skin cancer is a common cases, especially after age, where the risk rose to infection types of skin cancer in the elderly. The skin cancer affects men more than women. Statistics estimate that skin cancer affects about thirty…

There is a very common type of cancer that affects 80% of Americans. It is the most common form of cancer in the US and the least malignant. This cancer is known as Basal cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma also known as (BCC) is a type of skin cancer that effects the basal cells that line the epidermis. Basal cells duplicate and increase to the point where they penetrate the dermis (top layer of the skin). What causes the basal cells to react this way is usually being exposed to excessive…

Cancer is a disease in which abnormal growth of cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissues (“Cancer- Google Search”). There are more than 100 types of cancer, that includes lung cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma. The symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer is active. Most of the them are detected after a tumor is felt or when other symptoms start to develop. It can also be detected in blood, urine, or incidentally by reason of evaluating or…

body how to grow. Skin cancer in the genetic disorder. The genetics of skin cancer is an extremely broad logic. There are more than 100 types of tumors that are clinically apparent on the skin;many of these are known to have familial components, either in isolation or as part of a syndrome with other features. This is, in part, because the skin itself is a complex organ made up of multiple cell types. The symptoms of skin cancer are most commonly noticed symptom of skin cancer is a…

Skin cancer is the most common cancer of all cancers, it is predicted that one of every three new cases of cancers is skin cancer. There are two types of skin cancer: melanoma and non-melanoma. Melanocytes produce melanin, which is the pigment cells responsible for skin color and also protect the body from ultraviolet rays. When these cells transform into cancerous cells, the result is melanoma. Melanoma is not as common but it is the deadliest and most dangerous type of skin cancer because it…

Skin Cancer Skin cancer is the common name for any of three different types of cancer such as, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma. Skin cancer is the number one cancer diagnosis in the United States. The most basic definition of skin cancer is “the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells” (“Skin Cancer Foundation”). When discussing skin cancer, it is necessary to mention each cancer individually, as they are not all the same. For instance, Basal cell Carcinoma is the…
