Australia has developed a national health care policy that has made prevention of the occurrence of skin cancer a societal responsibility. Its strategies for skin cancer control have included careful documentation of the incidence of skin cancer over the last two decades. After realizing that the magnitude of sun exposure during childhood is a major risk factor in the development of skin cancer...

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and there are two forms: melanomas and melanoma (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). The main risk factor in both types of skin cancer is exposure to sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet radiation. In comparison with basal or squamous cell carcinoma melanoma skin cancer is less common but more serious if not treated early, and ca...

Background: We explored survival of skin cancer and its determinants in Kurdistan province of Iran. Methods: In a retrospective cohort design, we identified all registered skin cancer patients in Kurdistan Cancer Registry from year 2000 to 2009. Information on time and cause of death were obtained from Registrar’s office and information on type, stage and anatomic locations were extracted fr...

Malignant skin cancers are the most dreadful human neoplasms that pose severe medical and social problems to healthcare sector globally. Skin tumors broadly classified into two major categories namely; melanoma non-melanoma cancer (NMSC).

In this paper, we have presented a new technique for classification of skin cancer using back-propagation training techniques. — Skin cancer is the deadliest form of cancers in humans. Skin cancer is commonly known as Melanoma. Melanoma is named after the cell from the melanocyte. Skin Cancers are of two typesBenign and Malignant Melanoma. The system is tested on skin dataset of skin cancer ima...

skin cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer in most of the countries and more than 90% of cancer cases are related to ultra violet rays of the sun. therefore protective behaviors against sunlight are considered the most essential measures for skin cancer prevention. this study has been conducted to determine the frequency of protective behavior against sunlight among female students of teh...

Background. Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer have a high risk of (non-)melanoma skin cancer. The association between histological variants of primary ovarian cancer and skin cancer is poorly documented. Objectives. To further evaluate the risk of skin cancer based on the histology of the epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods. A cross-sectional study within a large population-based dataset. ...

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, with an increasing annual rate. Defining the mechanism of skin cancer malignancy and progression is the first step towards skin cancer prevention and therapy. “Warburg Effect” describes the preference of glycolysis and lactate fermentation rather than oxidative phosphorylation for energy production in cancer cells, which also p...

BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) increases the risk of de novo malignancies including skin cancers. However, risk factors for this type of cancers have not been well studied. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of skin cancer in LT recipients, and to identify the risk factors of this type of cancer. METHODS We identified all adult patients who underwent LT and developed de novo skin c...
