Health and disease: Skin Cancer
Pathogenic Period
2.1 Secondary Prevention
2.1.1 An secondary prevention is the use of chemical and biological agents to delay or reduce the development of the cancer
2.1.2 Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and control of cancer, thereby leading to timely initiation of therapy and improved outcomes, and is critically important for patients at high risk for nonmelanoma skin cancer.
2.2 Tertiary Prevention
Freezing.
Excisional surgery.
Mohs surgery.
Curettage and electrodesiccation or cryotherapy.
Radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy.
Photodynamic therapy.
Biological therapy.
Symptoms:

A reddish, raised patch or irritated area that may crust or itch, but rarely hurts
A shiny pink, red, pearly white, or translucent bump
A pink growth with an elevated border and crusted central indentation
A scar-like, white, yellow, or waxy area, often with a poorly defined border

1.Pre-pathogenic period (causes)
Primary Prevention
a. Health promotion, and education about this type of cancer.
b. Skin Cancer Protection: - Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day. - Avoid tanning, and never use a UV tanning bed. - Don't get sunburned. - Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Skin cancer is mainly caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. When you don't protect your skin, UV rays from sunlight or tanning beds can damage your skin's DNA. When the DNA is altered in that way, it can't properly control skin cell growth, leading to cancer.
Definition:
Skin cancer is an abnormal growth of skin cells. It generally develops in areas that are exposed to the sun, but it can also form in places that don’t normally get sun exposure.
