Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Slide 6-

Melanoma *Seventh most common cancer in the United States. *One out of every 105 Americans born in 1991 will develop malignant melanoma (compared to 1 out of 1,500 in 1935). *The number of new cases of melanoma has more than doubled since 1973.

Melanoma (cont.) Most common cancer in young adults age 25-29 Among women age 30-35, incidence is exceeded only by breast cancer Incidence increasing 4% annually, higher than any other cancer On average, one melanoma death in the U.S. per hour
Slide 8-

Melanoma (cont.) Increase is the result of recreational sun exposure, thinning of the ozone layer, and better detection. In 2001, an estimated 48,000 new cases of melanoma occurred. In 2003, 54,000 new cases occurred In 2000, skin cancer claimed the lives of 9,600 people.

Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation UVA – UVB - UVC The sun radiates energy over a broad spectrum of wavelengths. UV radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than visible blue or violet light, is responsible for sunburns and other health effects: Skin cancer Cataracts Suppression of the immune system Premature aging of the skin

Sunburns …We found an increased risk of melanoma related to the frequency of sunburns during all periods of life. More than five sunburns doubled the melanoma risk, irrespective of the time in life. British Journal of Dermatology (2001)
