Skin Cancer: the most common cancer in United States
Occurrence rate of skin cancer is highMortality rate is lower than internal organ
cancersSkin cancer accounts for only 1% of all
cancer deaths

What is Skin
Largest organ of the human bodyWeighs about 6 pounds Protects us against heat, light, injury, and
infectionRegulates body temperature

What is Cancer
Occurs when healthy cells loose their ability to limit & direct their growth
Too much tissue is producedThese cells develop the ability to invade
and tumors form

What is Skin Cancer
Most common type of cancer in the U.S.Types of skin cancer:
– Basal Cell Carcinoma– Squamous Cell Carcinoma– Melanoma
![Page 6: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Description:– Waxy skin eruption or small scaly patch
– Smooth growth with raised border
– Could be a smooth bump that crusts over or bleeds
– May start as a pimple or sore that doesn’t heal
95% cure rateMen 2X as likely to get as womenType that Presidents Clinton and Bush had

Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Scaly patch, small raised bump, or tumorCan spread locally to lymph nodes95% cure rateHead, neck, hands, lips (tobacco,
cigarettes, and UV rays)Men 3X as likely to get than women

Melanoma
50% fatality rateMen 2X as likely to get as womenMust treat early!Description:
– Mole that has changed– Multi-colored dark area on skin (reddish,
bluish, brown, or black)

What Causes Skin Cancer
Ultraviolet (UV) Rays - 90%UVA
– Penetrates deep into the skin– Tangles the DNA– Skin does not appear smooth – Causes premature aging: wrinkles,
leathery skin– Affects eyes: cataracts and corneal burns
![Page 11: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What Causes Skin Cancer
UVB– Causes redness– Sunburns
UVC– Gets absorbed back into the ozone layer
Disclaimer: sunlight is good for your health. Your body needs small doses (30 minutes) a day for Vitamin D
![Page 12: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Skin cancer is a result of U.V. exposure
Chronic– Wears down the skin cells & damages DNA– Diminishes the cell’s protective factors over
timeAcute
– Can do the same damage as chronic– Visible symptom is a sunburn
Skin cancer appears in adulthood
![Page 13: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
UV Exposure
SunArtificial sun
– Growing Lights– Tanning Beds
• Mostly UVA
• Important to protect the eyes
• Important to use skin creams
• Only changes skin color, so you can still burn
![Page 14: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“Safe Tan”
There is no such thing as a Safe TanAny tan equals damage to the skinOverexposure to UV rays linked to:
– Glaucoma– Diminishes immunization factors– Contributes to exhaustion– Lowers response rate
![Page 15: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Skin Damage Prevention
Skin damage is largely preventablePeople receive 50-80% of their lifetime
sun exposure by age 18– Incidentally, this is the same time period skin
is the most vulnerable and should be best protected.
![Page 16: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2 Types of Human Risk Factors
Uncontrollable– Skin type– Hair Color– Age– Family History
Controllable– Can you name any of these?
![Page 17: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Controllable Factors
Time of DayShadeCloudy DaysSunscreen
Protective Clothing
Drug Interactions
Check-ups

Final Thoughts…..
Skin is the largest organNo skin transplantsPrevention is the best strategy for sun and
skin safety
![Page 19: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Protection from skin cancer is a personal responsibility
BE A SUN SAFETY ADVOCATE!
Control for amount of time exposed Time of day exposed Use of protective barriers
– Long sleeve shirts– Wide brim hat– Sunscreen– Sun canopy or tractor cab
Usually a gap between knowledge/behavior of protective factors and their benefits to reducing skin cancer
Acute symptoms can be recognized & treated, while chronic exposure is the invisible risk
![Page 20: Skin Cancer Prevention Program Presented By: Cheryl Barber Spires OSU Extension, Fulton County, Maumee Valley EERA Prepared by: Dee Jepsen, Sereana Howard](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d985503460f94a82ef3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The earlier we start practicing sun safety, the longer we will keep our skin healthy.
