Slide 7-

What Causes Skin Cancer Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main cause Artificially-produced UV radiation Chemicals
Slide 8-

Types of Skin Cancer Pre-Cancerous Actinic keratosis Cancerous Squamous cell carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma Melanoma Others
Slide 9-

Actinic Keratosis A pre-cancerous condition of thick, scaly patches of sun-damaged skin.
Slide 10-

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Begins in squamous cells which are found in the surface of the skin They are thin, flat cells that look like fish scales Approximately 20% of all skin cancers
Slide 11-

Squamous Cell Cancer Warning Signs Scaly Red Patch Elevated with Central Depression Sore that Persists
Slide 12-

Basal Cell Carcinoma Skin cancer that arises from basal cells, small round cells found in the lower part of the skin (epidermis). Over 75% of all skin cancers Slow-growing Generally treatable
Slide 13-

Basal Cell Cancer Warning Signs Small, smooth, pale, or waxy shiny lump Firm, red lump A lump that bleeds or develops a crust
Slide 14-

Check In Quiz Thick, scaly patches of sun-damaged skin #1 #2 Persistent, scaly red patch sometimes crusts or bleeds #3 Red growth with indentation in center
Slide 15-

Melanoma A skin cancer that arises in a pigment producing cell Usually begins in a mole Deadliest form of skin cancer 5% of all skin cancers Can be found anywhere on the body
Slide 16-

Benign Mole or Melenoma NORMAL How Do I Tell The Difference? ABNORMAL
Slide 17-

ABCDEs of Melanoma Screening “A” = ASYMMETRY
Slide 18-

ABCDEs of Melanoma Screening “B” = BORDERS
Slide 19-

ABCDEs of Melanoma Screening “C” = COLORS Uniform Color
Slide 20-

ABCDEs of Melanoma Screening “D” = DIAMETER
Slide 21-

ABCDEs of Melanoma Screening “E” = Elevation NORMAL
Slide 22-

How is Skin Cancer Found? Self-examination Exams and Doctors visits Early detection is KEY
Slide 23-
