Skin Cancer

5.7K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Quantitative Visualization and Detection of Skin Cancer Using Dynamic Thermal Imaging

17.2K
We demonstrated that malignant pigmented lesions with increased metabolic activity generate quantifiable amounts of heat and the measurement of the transient thermal response of the skin to a cooling excitation allows quantitative identification of melanoma and other skin cancers (vs. non-proliferative nevi) at an early stage of the disease.

Chemical-induced Two-stage Skin Carcinogenesis Model: An Experimental In Vivo Mouse Model of Skin Cancer

2.2K
This video describes the procedure to induce two-stage skin carcinogenesis to study tumor initiation by topical application of chemicals. In the first step, a mutagen, DMBA, is applied onto the skin of a mouse model which initiates tumor formation by causing mutations in the stem cells, followed by the application of a growth stimulator, TPA, which accelerates skin papilloma...

Combining Reflectance Confocal Microscopy with Optical Coherence Tomography for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Skin Cancers via Image Acquisition

2.9K
Here, we describe protocols for acquiring good-quality images using novel, noninvasive imaging devices of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and combined RCM and optical coherence tomography (OCT). We also familiarize clinicians with their clinical applications so that they can integrate the techniques into regular clinical workflows to improve patient...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Dermatology
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Rising skin cancer incidence necessitates innovative public health strategies.
  • Rural areas face physician shortages, exacerbating disparities in skin cancer care.
  • Creative solutions are needed for skin cancer education, prevention, and early detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a brief educational intervention on hair professionals' knowledge and confidence.
  • To explore the potential of hair professionals as lay educators for skin cancer prevention in rural communities.

Main Methods:

  • Medical students delivered a 20-minute educational presentation in rural hair salons.
  • Hair professionals completed pre- and post-surveys assessing comfort with lesion detection and patron education.
  • Surveys also measured likelihood to alert patrons about suspicious lesions and encourage medical evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Post-presentation surveys showed increased hair professional comfort in identifying suspicious skin lesions.
  • The educational program enhanced comfort in discussing skin cancer prevention with patrons.
  • Hair professionals reported a greater likelihood of alerting patrons to concerning lesions and recommending physician evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Hair professionals can serve as valuable lay skin cancer educators in rural settings.
  • Targeted educational programs can significantly improve hair professionals' capacity for skin cancer detection and prevention outreach.
  • This intervention demonstrates a feasible approach to address skin cancer disparities in underserved populations.
