Skin Cancer Briefly
What is skin cancer exactly?
Skin cancer is the out-of-control growth of abnormal cells in the outermost skin layer, caused by unrepaired DNA damage that triggers mutations. These mutations lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. The main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).
- Melanoma -
It's the most serious type of skin cancer, develops in the cells (melanocytes) that produce melanin - the pigment that gives your skin its color. Melanoma can also form in your eyes and, rarely inside your body.
But, more advanced cases of Melanoma can be fatal.
We don’t know the exact causes of melanoma aren’t clear, but what is certain is that limiting exposures to UV radiation can help.
A story ...
Living in a hot and developing country that still can't manage equality over all the territory can be problematic, even for the population's health-wise. Some of its lands are cultivated, cared for, and worked by farmers. Unfortunately, unlike the other comfortable part of the population, they have to work hard under the burning sun which has a lot of impact on their skin. Because of their low earnings, which is pretty common in the agricultural industry, they may not have access to the right medical care and cures. Their wages are not the only problem, the country itself can be the problem if it's not equipped with advanced technology and knowledge too.
