Argument Against Skin Cancer

“Skin cancers are the most prevalent form of cancer in the Unites States An estimated 11,790 people die of skin cancer each year, 8700 from malignant melanoma” (Huether, McCance, 2012, p. 1058). Since melanoma is the most prevalent form of cancer, it is important to understand what causes it, what it does, who is at a higher risk, and possible treatment routes.

Over the past decades, the incidence of skin cancer has risen in Australia and is one of the highest in the world, two to three times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK. Around 2,000 Australians die from skin cancer each year. Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they are 70. Skin cancers account for around 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers and GPs have over 1 million patient consultations per year for skin cancer. Skin cancer is the highest cost of all cancers, with annual costs around $300 million. Hence

It's normal to feel scared and worried after being diagnosed with skin cancer. Learning your options for treatment and deciding to do to combat it after a diagnosis, can help you overcome these fears with a positive plan of action.

Thesis: Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States but is highly curable if detected early and treated properly.

Skin cancer is a disease that can affect any one. Skin cancer includes many types that can be classified as severe or superficial. Consequently, treatement of skin cancer depends on the degree of severity a person has. In the following paper, we will shed lights on the types of skin cancer and its causes. Finally, we will investigate how to treat the different types of cancer and how to avoid it.

Three specific benefits that exercise plays in my fight against cancer are improved mood, improved self-esteem, and decreased body fat. All of these things are very important to my health and wellness. Luckily, with enough exercise each day my body will continue to benefit from not only these three things but many others. On the diet and cancer exercise I scored an 11 for the 3 days combined but did not score the goal amount for women each day. This is not good because I should be getting the recommended amounts of cancer fighting fruits and vegetables each day. On the skin cancer risk assessment I scored a nine which means I am at a very high risk of developing skin cancer from UV radiation. I am constantly in the sun in the summer. I work

Each day, nearly 10,000 people are diagnosed with skin cancer. Over 8,000 people die from it every year. Do not fear! Ninety five percent of detected skin cancer is cured. However, those who have been cured must continue to maintain a watch for new skin cancer.

Malignant melanoma is the 19th most common cancer worldwide, with around 232,000 new cases diagnosed in 2012. Skin cancer incidence rates are highest in Australia/New Zealand and in North America but lowest in South Central Asia, but this partly reflects difference data quality worldwide. The rates have become rather stable in recent years. Indications of a stabilization or decreasing trend were noticed mainly in the youngest age group (25-44 years). Rates have been rising

According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for about half of all cancers in the United States. More than 3 million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States alone this year (Skin Cancer Foundation). Basal-cell carcinomas constitute approximately 90 percent of all non-melanoma skin cancers, making it the most common cancer in humans. Basal-cell carcinomas or BCCs are abnormal, uncontrolled growths or lesions that arise in the skin’s basal cells, which line the deepest layer of the epidermis. This type of cancer most often occurs in skin that is frequently exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation such as the face, ears, neck and limbs (Rubin et al.). As ultraviolet rays

Skin cancer is the most common malignancy in the United States, where approximately 3.5 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer and 75000 cases of melanoma are diagnosed each year. (American Journal of Public Health) There is around 9000 deaths for each year from indoor and outdoor UV beams (American Journal of Public Health). Melanoma skin malignancy creates from the melanocytes and non-melanomas skin growth creates from the basal and squamous cells. To viably treat melanoma there is billions of dollars spent every year. The main source of skin tumor is tanning inside and outside.

Did you know that Nearly 30 million people use tanning booths a year. 2.3 million of these are teenagers, who are at highest risk for skin damage. Skin Cancer is the number one cancer in the United States. More common than all the cancers combined. More than 90% of lupus sufferers are women, mostly young women between the ages of 15 to 44. Lupus is one of America’s least recognized major diseases. While lupus is widespread, awareness and accurate knowledge about it is lacking. Women of color are two to three times more at risk for lupus than Caucasians and any other race. Both diseases are highly popular and effects anyone.

I was born and raised in Palm Beach County of south Florida. The ocean, beach, and sun are just another everyday routine in the lives of a south Floridian. Sun bathing is a hobby that I never realized was such a big deal until moving to Orlando; when going to the beach and tanning is a privilege only shared on occasion. In Palm Beach County, it is hard to find someone that isn’t ten shades darker then they are naturally otherwise. When reports about the negative effects of UV light came about, I constantly heard “Oh, it won’t happen to me, I will deal with that when I’m older, but for now I’m going to continue tanning.” Today, skin cancer “is the most common type of cancer in the U.S.” (Ferrini, 2008). It is also the most dangerous for

When looking at the population concerned with adolescent health, it includes people up to age 18. However, one of the programs goes from kindergarten to 18 and another evaluated both college and high school students. This age range encompasses young people who are at risk for unique health complications. Adolescent health shapes adult health, making it a top priority population. If good habits and smart behaviors are implemented in youth, they are often carried on through adulthood, establishing good practices for the future. Additionally, this is a crucial time for health education as this population is extremely moldable. The two prevention programs that I chose to analyze for this population are exercise education and abstinence education.

Every 52 minutes a person dies from skin cancer and over 80,000 cases of Melanoma cancer are treated yearly.There are three major Skin Cancer diagnoses: Basal cell skin
