Squamous cell carcinoma

Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is an autosomal recessive disease that impairs the ability of DNA repair in cells that are damaged by ultra violent light. XP is rare and roughly affects 1:250,000 Americans a year1. Unsurprisingly, early in a patient’s childhood they have extreme sun sensitivity, which gravely increases their incidence of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, as well as benign and malignant melanomas. Before affected children reach the age of 20 years old, their incidence of…

(National Center for Biotechnology Information.) Every year in America, up to 3.5 million people are treated for the three types of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, this form of cancer is so common, that one in every five people will get it in their lifetime. Pollution is playing a very important role in these statistics. Every year that…

in the sun, indoor tanning also exposes your skin to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Whether the UV rays are coming from a tanning bed or the sun they can still cause wrinkles, rashes and dark spots. The most dangerous types of UV rays can change the DNA in cells, which is what experts believe is the main cause of skin cancers.In the US, 35% of adults and 55% of college students have tanned, and the study found there are more than 419,000 new skin cancer cases attributable to indoor tanning each year,…

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 sunlight and/or ultraviolet rays as well as having or had many severe sunburns, overexposure to x-rays, and having relatives who had skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma is…

What Is Blue Light Therapy? Blue light therapy is also known as photodynamic therapy. More dermatologists are using it to help ward off skin cancer in patients who suffer from actinic keratoses. Actinic keratoses are also known as solar keratoses. They are scaly raised bumps that developed in sun-exposed areas, such as the lips, hands, face and forearm. They are precancerous lesions. Ten percent of people with actinic keratoses will develop skin cancer. Fortunately, early treatment can…

The most common type of cancer in the United States is skin cancer. In most individual cases of cancer, exact cause is unknown, although most causes are linked to increased genetic susceptibility, lifestyle factors including diet, damage caused by infectious diseases and many more. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer for both men and women. Many characteristics can influence the development of cancer. Overexposure to the sun and trips to the tanning bed put someone at the risk of…

Other papers presented positive immunoexpression of p53 protein, yet TP53 mutations seem to be uncommon events in pleomorphic adenomas (PA), adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC), mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) and carcinomas ex pleomorphic adenomas (CAexPA). Also, I will talk about other diseases produce from exposured TP53 to uranium (11). The most common mechanism is the loss of enzymes in the human body. The main two involved are Glurathione…

haven't screwed up in life to make the man upstairs mad. No there is no treatment to cancer but hope. Hope is all people have. Lung Cancer is a degenerative in which it declines the human body’s condition. Our bodies are made up with trillions of cells. These cells can make an exact copy of themselves using DNA when told to or even die when signaled by the body. Although sometimes a cell's DNA can get damaged when being copied. There for one…

Skin Cancer has got to be one of the biggest health issues we are facing today 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with it by seventy, more than 2000 Australians die from it every year; skin cancer is the biggest problem for Australia and new Zealanders which have the biggest fatalities and diagnosis out of any other country or constant. This is occurring because of the harsh UV rays created by the sun that Australians simply can’t escape without the proper protection against it, this is why…

Studies had shown that people who includes food that has high content of fish oils, comprised also of omega-3 fats, had a lower risk of attaining squamous cell skin cancer than those who didn 't. This is because of the healthy fats present in the diet, known as omega-3 fatty acids. This component helps sustains cell membranes which acts as barriers in your skin, which keeps harmful toxins out. Keeping your skin healthy and far away from acquiring skin cancer, these fatty acids allow…
