Be careful High-Risk Skin Cancer

People with skin cancer at high risk for another cancer. Page CNN proclaim, a study for the first time found that people who suffer from cancer, other than skin cancer also are at risk of skin cancer.

Risk will occur in patients with breast cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia. Women who have been cured of cancer before age 45 are at risk of skin cancer by 38 percent compared to other women who have never contracted cancer.

According to researchers, excessive ultraviolet radiation is the main cause of skin cancer. Based on the empirical record, people who often bask in the sun longer at risk of contracting skin cancer.

Real connection between skin cancer and other cancers can be seen from the underlying susceptibility genes. "People who have cancer other than skin cancer should keep the skin from UV radiation and examine their skin regularly." said Jeremy S, researcher.

Bordeaux, a senior researcher at the Faculty of Health Western Reserve University, adding, if it appears black spots on the skin, they should immediately check to Dermatology expert.

The National Cancer Agency in collaboration with Bordeaux analyzing data on 70,819 patients with skin cancer and skin cancer 6353 after contracting other cancers. Analysis of data produced that the risk of skin cancer associated with other cancers are much lower, but it is still important to note.

Compared with the general population, patients with prostate cancer have 58 percent higher risk and people with lymphoma have a 79 percent higher risk for skin cancer if they have contracted cancer diagnosed before age 45. In addition, patients with cancer at a young age will be more susceptible to skin cancer than patients with age above 45 years.

Patients with thyroid cancer in old age will be 40 percent risk of developing skin cancer, lymphoma patients are at risk of 34 percent, and 79 percent of patients with leukemia risk contracting skin cancer. While breast cancer patients at risk of skin cancer 12 percent higher than the others.

Skin cancer spread only eight percent higher than in men with prostate cancer over 45 years of age. But this does not guarantee that the cancer could have continued to evolve during the life of the man. As was said Bordeaux, "although the risk is very low infecting older men, prostate cancer can spread to many people".

Signs of skin cancer can be seen in the emergence of black spots and moles that magnitude almost beyond a pencil eraser. The shape is irregular and there is also a color.
