Skin Cancer

The skin covers our entire body and protects us from heat, light, injury, and infection. It also aids in body temperature regulation and the storage of water, fat, and vitamin D. The outer skin and the inner skin are the two primary layers of the skin.

Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (also known as skin cancer) are the two most common types of cancer, whereas melanoma is the most dangerous. Melanoma is the rarest and most dangerous type of cancer. Squamous cells, basal cells, and melanocytes make up the skin. Melanocytes are melanoma-derived cells.

The risks of skin cancer

In Europe, the United States, and Australia, skin cancer is the most frequent type of cancer.

The elements that raise the likelihood of acquiring cancer are known as risk factors. The following are some of the skin cancer risk factors:

The color of the skin, such as an extremely white complexion, can influence the development of cancer. Galloping skin cancer (race skin cancer) is the most common among white persons who burn quickly and develop freckles.

The incidence of skin cancer is linked to one's gender. Skin cancer deaths in white men have increased in recent years, probably as a result of greater exposure to sunshine.

Skin cancer is more common in people over the age of 20. Melanoma has developed fast among white people above the age of 20 years, according to the age index.

The individual's history, which either refers to the congenital presence of dysplastic nevi or a significant number of nevi, raises the risks of developing skin cancer dramatically. Patients who have previously experienced non-melanoma skin cancer are more likely to develop it again. Patients who have been exposed to the sun, x-rays, or UV light for an extended period of time are at a higher risk.

Detecting skin cancer

Skin checks on a regular basis enhance the likelihood of discovering malignant skin lesions early. The majority of melanoma on the skin may be seen with the naked eye. The tumor frequently extends below the level of the skin but does not penetrate into the deeper tissues for a long time. If the tumor is discovered and treated in time before it spreads further, we can recognize it fast and have a complete cure.

Detection of skin cancer

New medical equipment provides fast detection for skin cancer.

What is monitoring?

Photographic screening to monitor and evaluate skin lesions for cancer is a check (control) in persons who are at an early stage of cancer development and have no symptoms. Scientists have looked at different types of cancer in the community to see which groups of people had a higher risk of having skin cancer.

We've also looked into environmental and daily life elements that can have an impact on the appearance of skin cancer. This knowledge can assist clinicians in determining the appropriate categories of people to screen, as well as the sorts of skin lesions to monitor and analyze (screening) and the frequency with which this should be done.

With the use of new technology, we now have a non-invasive examination (test) with which we can detect certain types of black spots and whether or not they are at high risk using only digital documentation.

If your doctor recommends certain cancer screening tests as part of your cancer prevention strategy, it does not mean he or she believes you have cancer. When there are no symptoms, detection tests are performed. Because making this decision can be challenging, you should talk to your doctor about it and ask questions about the test's potential hazards and benefits, as well as whether it has been demonstrated to lessen the risk of dying from cancer.

If your doctor feels that you have more severe skin cancer symptoms, he or she will order testing to confirm or rule out the suspicion.

Any questions you may have about skin cancer will be answered by the particular skin cancer test.

Is it possible that I have skin cancer? What can I do if I think I have a skin lesion that could turn into skin cancer? Is there a link between early discovery and increased survival?

A unique and superior medical system is now available at Advanced Aesthetics in Athens, and Cyprus as it provides new data in the early identification of skin cancer.
