Squamous cell carcinoma

Cancers in our bodies organs starts when cells grow in a rapid and out of control matter.The form of cancer in which I chose to cover was Prostate Cancer. Prostate cancer is a result of cells in a male prostate gland to rapidly. The prostate is located inferior to the bladder and is anterior to the rectum. The size of the prostate varies in size according to the age of the male although it tends to be larger in size if the male is older. The prostate is also an aid in the production of semen…

skin it is the most serious type of skin cancer.There are two hundred types of cancer each of them named after the organ or tissue which it grows in.Prostate a cancer in a man's prostate, a small walnut-sized gland that produces seminal fluid.Basal cell cancer,a type of skin cancer that begins in the basal cells.Colon cancer,a cancer of the colon or rectum, located at the digestive tract's lower end.Lymphoma a cancer of the lymphatic system. It’s Harm:Cancer is could be deadly if it is not…

sunlight for long periods of time can cause damage to your skin and ultimately lead to Melanoma. Although the exposure to UV rays is one of the leading causes of Melanoma, it’s not the only cause. The disease itself starts within the cells, specifically our pigment cells which are also known as melanocytes. This is where the cancer begins, within…

Merkel-cell carcinoma is a rare type of malignant skin cancer or disease that grows out of control. It most often starts in areas of skin that is being exposed to the sun, especially the head, neck, arms, and legs. This type of skin disease tends to grow quickly and metastasize at an early stage; this most often become more developed in older people. Metastatic Merkel-cell carcinoma is often deadly and there is no effective treatment. Findings made by a physician-researcher of University of…

Melanoma incidence has markedly increased in recent decades. It represents 3–5% of skin cancers, but it is responsible for 75% of all skin cancer deaths1. Approximately 10% of melanoma cases report a relative affected with melanoma, and a positive family history is associated with an increased risk of developing melanoma. The heritable (germ line) variants which contribute to melanoma susceptibility vary in terms of risk from common relatively low penetrance genes to rare high penetrance genes1.…

The American Cancer Society estimates that skin cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers with over 2 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer each year and 75,000 melanoma cases in 2012**. Melanoma is one of themost serious consequences of skin cancer where melanocytesproliferate actively with enhanced accumulation of melaninpigment leading to hyperpigmentation and tumor formation. Up-regulated levels oftyrosinase enzyme appear to be correlated to with greater production and accumulation of…

Len states, “As noted in the IARC report, the risk of melanoma is increased 75% in those people who start using tanning beds before the age of 30” (Dr. Lichtenfeld). Melanoma is the worst type of skin cancer you could possibly get. Basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers are not as life threating as melanoma and can be most of the time cured with an excision. If someone could prevent themselves from getting melanoma, why would they increase the risk of getting it by using the tanning bed?…

Use of Chemical Hair Dyes and Health Problems According to J.D. Heyes, those who use hair dyes more than nine times a year have a 60 percent greater risk of contracting cancer (Heyes 1). It is important to know what kind of chemicals are in the hair dye. People do not read what the hair dye contains in it, if dying hair often it can lead to cause cancer on scalp, skin, and hair loss. J. D. Heyes, a scientist, also says that both home hair coloring kits, and dyes used at more expensive hair…

ABCDE is an mnemonic device used to remember the steps when analyzing skin diseases such as skin cancer and can be very useful in identifying warning signs. The A stands for asymmetrical. When a mole is benign, when your draw a line in the middle it will be symmetrical. But, if the mole is malignant it will be asymmetrical, and this can be a warning sign for melanoma. The B stands for border. A malignant mole's borders tend to be uneven and the edges may be notched (in the shape of a V). This…

begins in the cells of the skin. There are different types of skin cancer such as basal cell skin cancer, squamous…
