Skin Cancer


Chances of Recovery from Skin Cancer


1. Prognosis


Generally, the prognosis for non-melanoma skin cancer is great. Both squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma are highly curable. Virtually no death occurs from basal cell carcinoma and just rare deaths are seen with squamous cell carcinoma skin cancers, mostly in immunosuppressed people. Basing on the treatment option, type and area of skin cancer, the possibility of an earlier skin cancer’s recurrence is as low as 1%-2% for Mohs Surgery and up to 10%-15% for elimination by curettage and electrodessication.


2. Skin Cancer Screening


Skin cancer’s early detection can cause better results. Know your skin and whether you have any spot or mole that is suspicious, visit a dermatologist for a skin cancer screening. Awareness helps detect and treat skin cancers soon.


3. Prevention


If you avoid triggers that lead to tumors to grow, you can prevent many skin cancers. Prevention methods incorporate:


·         Having your physician do a yearly skin examination.


·         Using a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF daily. Apply it 15-30 minutes before going outside.


·         Using protective clothing to cover your skin.


·         Doing a self-test of your skin once every month.


·         Avoid using tanning beds as they are a basic reason for excessive UV ray exposure.


·         Avoiding the sun during the peak hours of 9 am to 4 pm.


·         Reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours if you are swimming or sweating a lot.


·         Wearing sunglasses that provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Prostate cancer - Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Prostate Cancer – Diagnosis The PSA and DRE are tools which doctors use to diagnose you for prostate cancer. If you test positive for prostate cancer during the screening process, your doctor will likely order a biopsy for you. A prostate cancer biopsy uses ultrasound to guide your doctor in finding the best section of your prostate to ‘snip’ off for further analysis. You are generally given an enema and antibiotics to guard for possible infection during the procedure. The doctor will take an image of your prostate to note its size and shape for any abnormalities. You must lie on your side and will be given local anesthesia as a probe is inserted into your butt. Shadows which are the precursor to cancer will show up on the image. If your prostate is of average size, the doctor will likely use his or her needle to remove only a tiny section of your prostate. More significant parts may be needed if your prostate is huge because large prostates are often a sign of prostate cancer. Your ca
