The 64-year-old uncle found out
"Black moles" on the cheeks
And gradually get bigger
Go to the hospital for a checkup
High suspicion is one
Cutaneous malignancies
Eventually, pathological findings confirm the diagnosis:
"Right cheek" basal cell carcinoma
Some time to recover after surgery
Xu Jiali, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology of the First People's Hospital of Tonglu County, said that six patients with skin malignant tumors were encountered within one month. Although skin cancer is a malignant tumor, if it can be diagnosed and treated early, there is a great possibility of radical cure.
Non-melanoma skin cancer
It is more common in the elderly over 60 years old
Basal cell carcinoma is a non-melanoma skin cancer, which is more common in the elderly over 60 years old, and is more likely to occur on the head, face, neck and back of hands, especially on the more prominent parts of the face.
Other common non-melanoma skin cancers are as follows:
No.1
Actinic keratoses
Lesions are yellowish-brown or black-brown patches with obvious keratinization, covered with dry, adhesive scales, normal or inflammatory margins, single or multiple.
It usually affects sun-exposed areas such as the head, neck, upper trunk, and limbs.
No.2
Squamous cell carcinoma
Abbreviated as squamous cell carcinoma, also known as epidermal carcinoma, is a malignant tumor that occurs in epidermal or appendage cells, and cancer cells have varying degrees of keratinization.
It is more common in areas covered with squamous epithelium, such as the skin, mouth, lips, esophagus, cervix, vagina, etc.
No.3
Bowen's disease
Also known as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, it is an intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma that develops in the skin or mucous membranes.
It is more likely to occur in sun-exposed areas, but can also affect mucous membranes such as the mouth, nose, pharynx, female vulva, and anus.
Skin cancers often masquerade as age spots
Teach you to make preliminary judgments
The clinical manifestations of skin cancer are diverse
Often disguised as age spots
It's easy to overlook
People at high risk of skin cancer
• Seniors over 60 years of age;
• Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays, such as outdoor workers;
• Long-term exposure to pesticides, bitumen, coal tar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.;
• Those with other intrinsic factors (such as familial inheritance, decreased immune function, etc.).
You can "look and touch"
to make a preliminary judgment
Take a look: It tends to appear on sun-exposed areas, such as the face, bald areas of the head, lower lip, neck, and limbs, often appearing as reddish-brown or black-brown patches.
Touch: It may have dry, scaly patches on its surface, or slightly raised.
When "moles" of different sizes are found on the face, body, and limbs, if they become large rapidly, irregular in shape, raised, itchy, inconsistent in color and skin color, painful, ulcerative and non-healing, infection, erosion, etc., it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
