Signs and Symptoms of Skin Cancer and Its Treatment - Diseases of skin cancers nowadays tend to have increased in number especially in the Americas, Australia and England. Based on several studies, they were white people are more likely to suffer this type of skin cancer. It is predicted as a result of their frequent exposure (lots of exposure) sunlight. In Indonesia, people with skin cancer is fairly small compared to the three countries, however, skin cancer needs to be understood that in addition to causing disability (ruin the appearance) is also at an advanced stage can be fatal for patients.
Skin Cancer is a disease characterized by the growth of skin cells that are not controlled, can damage surrounding tissue and can spread to other parts of the body. There are three types of skin cancer that often affects most people, such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM).
# Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Is a type of skin cancer are most common. This type of cancer does not run the spread (metastasize) other body gets, but cancer cells can grow and cause damage to surrounding skin tissue. Skin color is bright and often exposed to sun light glowing both suspected as the cause of Basal Cell Carcinoma. Other factors that also can cause this type of cancer is a weak immune system (both the impact of other disease or treatment), burns, X-ray beam.
1. Signs and Symptoms
Parts of the body affected basal cell cancer usually the face, neck and scalp. The signs of this type of cancer is a lump which is rather shiny, reddish in color with a slightly raised edge blackish, abnormalities such as scarring and abrasions / twists that does not heal.
2. The type of cancer diagnosis
Single method to ensure that basal cell cancer disease doctor will perform a clinical examination and histopathological by taking samples of the skin is considered as the cancerous tissue (biopsy) for examination under a microscope.
3. Therapy and Treatment
If the diagnosis has been established clearly that the patient had skin cancer basal cell type, then the action taken is usually surgery or removal of skin tissue (cancer) is complete, or can be with radiation action. Other methods are also often done is frozen surgical, electrical surgical, laser, photodynamic drugs as well as with either topical or injected (chemotherapy).
# Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Is a type of skin cancer that affects more men, especially the elderly (seniors). It is a type of skin cancer where the malignancy occurs epidermal keratinocyte cells, is the second commonest skin cancer. SCC skin cancer can spread to other body gets, generally suffered by those who are tropics region.
Like BCC disease, type of skin cancer is also suspected due to sunlight (dominant), Immune weak body, viruses, chemicals and scar tissue can also cause this Disease. The signs and symptoms is to have abnormalities in the form of lumps or sores that do not heal. Diagnosis is established by the same method on the KSB, as well as therapy and treatment measures tend to be similar to basal cell cancer.
# Malignant Melanoma (MM)
It is a type of skin cancer is the most vicious and potentially lethal. In America, the data obtained six of the seven patients died of this cancer. And the number of people infected increasing from year to year. Malignant Melanoma can develop from moles arise existing or emerging.
1. Signs and Symptoms
This information is very important for meraka who have a mole which changes color, size and shape, Moles sometimes itch and bleed when scratched. These cancer cells grow from melanocytes, the skin cells that function to produce melanin pigment.
Cancer is characterized by ABCD, A = asymmetric, irregular shapes. B = Border or uneven edges as well. C = Color or color that varies from one area to another. Can be brownish to black. Even in certain cases found are white, red and blue. D = Diameter greater than 6 mm.
2. Diagnosis of Malignant Melanoma
Enforcement of diagnosis in cases of this type of skin cancer as well as both types of skin cancer in the upper (BCC and SCC), the action biopsy for examination under a microscope.
3. Therapy and Treatment
Malignant melanoma is a type of skin cancer the most malignant, can spread other body gets as lymph glands. Actions performed in patients with this type of cancer is complete removal of cancerous tissue by surgery, if it has been known to spread it needed further surgery to remove surrounding tissue. If cancer cells are found spread to lymph glands, then inevitably gland is also removed.
