ROBERT GREENHAIL GH PRESENTS Caution while tanning can help prevent skin cancer My daughter plans to spend a lot of time this spring and summer, working on her tan. I am afraid that she is asking for trouble. Can exposure to too much sun cause cancer? The sun acts cumulatively in damaging our skin. It is not just today's sun that is harmful: The damage may start with overexposure to the sun in our child- hood, and continue to accumulate. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, but if detected and treated early, it is the easiest to cure. The skin, the body's largest organ, is constantly sub- jected to external abuse by infections and by irrita- tions from clothing, the weather and chemicals in the air. Internally, the products of our normal bodily functions also affect our skin. The worst external enemy of skin is the sun. And as our leisure time increases, we are spending more time in the sun. This summer there are ways you can prevent the sun from damaging or "poisoning" your skin: « Use common sense and avoid overexposure to the sun. « Wear a sun-screening lotion or cream, and if you have very fair skin, wear a broad-brimmed hat and long-sleeved shirt. « Stay our of the summer sun when its rays are the most intense at midday. Because people are living longer and spending more time pursuing outdoor activities, physicians expect to see a greater incidence of skin cancer in the future. The two most common forms of skin cancer are basal cell cancer, acommon but slow-growing malig- nancy, and squamous cell cancer, which is found less frequently but may spread more rapidly. These can- cers usually appear on exposed parts of the body; the arms, neck, face and the backs of hands. Basal cell and squamous cell cancers are character- ized by a pale, waxy, pearly nodule that ulcerates and crusts, or by small, red, scaly bumps or patches. They usually grow locally and don't spread to other parts of the body. A third and far more serious form of skin cancer is malignant melanoma, which, while still relatively uncommon, is increasing in incidence. This form of skin cancer is characterized by a rapidly growing black or dark brown mole-like growth that may be- comeulcerated and bleed easily if injured even slightly. The survival rate for malignant melanoma is 70 per- cent, lower than 99 percent rate of other forms of skin cancer because it spreads so quickly. Older people often develop precancers called actinic keratosis, which may eventually become cancerous. Although they are non-malignant, these precancers should be examined and treated if they enlarge before they develop into squamous cell cancers. If you have any bump or growth on your skin that changes in size or color or bleeds persistently, you should have it examined by a doctor. Your doctor will continue to examine you regularly for other malignant bumps or growths, because anyone who has had one skin cancer is more susceptible to others. Detected early, skin cancers usually can be cured. This health awareness is brought to you as a service to the Back Mountain community by Robert Greenhalgh, M.D.. Dr. Greenhalgh is a Back Mountain physician who offers general pediatric, gynecology, and geriatric medical care, on a personal basis. Board- Certified in Family Practice, he is on staff at Mercy, Nesbitt, and Wilkes Barre General Hospital.
