Can skin get cancer? Learn the following four nursing skills

      With the popularization of health knowledge and the progress of life concept, people pay more and more attention to the early screening and prevention of cancer.

　　In addition to the common lung cancer, stomach cancer and breast cancer, skin, the largest organ in our body, is also often at risk.

　　So, what is skin cancer?

　　Skin cancer is a malignant tumor of the skin.

　　Squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma are common.

　　The tumors of these two types of skin cancer originate from the skin.

　　Among skin cancers, malignant melanoma is the most malignant.

　　What are the causes of skin cancer?

　　The occurrence of skin cancer has a relationship with the sun exposure habit, skin color and race, vocational education activities, drug contact, and gene technology.

　　Among them, the lighter the skin color, the higher the risk of skin cancer after exposure to ultraviolet radiation; People who are often exposed to tar and asphalt also have a relatively high risk of skin cancer; The use of a special drug for clinical treatment - for example, the addition of arsenic in the drug will also increase the risk of skin cancer.

　　In heredity, the expression of some related genes will increase the probability of skin cancer, but the proportion of gene influence is relatively small among the important factors of skin cancer.

　　Compared with white people with lighter skin color, the domestic population is less likely to suffer from skin cancer.

　　However, the impact of long-term outdoor activities on skin cannot be underestimated.

　　A study by the World Health Organization shows that exposure to ultraviolet radiation is a major cancer risk.

　　For ordinary people, the biggest factor causing skin cancer is sunlight, so pay attention to sunscreen every day.

　　How is skin cancer treated?

　　In general, non-invasive dermoscopy can be used.

　　If skin cancer is suspected, doctors usually advise patients to have further examinations.

　　For relatively small skin lesions, pathological biopsy is usually performed after surgical resection, which is the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of skin cancer.

　　The results of pathological examination are used to determine the follow-up treatment plan. For relatively early skin cancer with a small area, most of them can be removed locally to achieve a good therapeutic effect; For the elderly, poor health, suffering from a variety of systemic diseases, skin lesions near special parts (such as corners of the eyes, around the nose), so that the need for skin flap transfer after surgery, considering that this group can not well tolerate surgery, photodynamic methods can be used to destroy tumor cells through the role of photochemistry, and this method can also be used for relatively superficial skin cancer.

　　In the treatment of metastatic malignant melanoma, the efficacy of targeted drugs is much better than that of traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

　　The difference of different skin cancers after cure is large. If squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma can be found in time, and they are not invasive growth type, the recurrence risk will be low if they are removed surgically.

　　However, invasive cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma often have early metastasis, which may affect the survival rate after five years.

　　However, if we can pay attention to skin problems as soon as possible and deal with them in time, the probability of infiltration and metastasis is relatively small.

　　How to carry out daily care for patients with skin cancer?

　　1. Timely go to the hospital for treatment: after skin cancer is found, go to the hospital for information management and treatment in a timely manner.

　　2. Protect yourself from the sun.

　　3. Regularly observe the skin, especially the exposed parts such as face and limbs, to check whether there is any change.

　　4. Develop healthy living habits: pay attention to balanced diet and nutrition, eat less junk food, stay away from harmful substances, and adjust living habits.
