FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON SKIN CANCER

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON SKIN CANCER

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON SKIN CANCER

Should I do a skin check?

Anyone should get their skin checked. Ideally, adults should check their skin every 3 months. If you notice any alarming changes or have never done a skin check we highly recommend you to check your skin in our clinic.

 

We understand that people with any type of skin colour can get skin cancer and therefore advice on early checks, especially if you:

 

  • Spend lots of time exposed to harmful UV radiation of the sun

  • Your family spends lots of time on outdoor activities, while unprotected from sun exposure

  • Have made a self-assessment and noticed some unusual skin changes

  • Have a family history of skin cancer

  • Your skin type (fair skin, freckles) is sensitive to UV radiation

  • You burn easily and have been severely sunburned in the past

  • Use solariums or keep your skin tanned during your lifetime

  • Are over 55 years old male individual

How to Notice The Changes on My Body?

With the process of self-assessment, you will be able to check your entire body from head to toe. Make sure you stand in a room with a good light and check every side, including your head, neck, face, scalp, lips and ears. Conduct the assessment every month. Do not leave out ‘hidden spots’ like your nails or feet.

 

While doing your self-assessment, think of the “ABCD” rule:

 

  • A – Asymmetry – asymmetrical shape where one half mismatches the other

  • B – Border – look for ragged edges

  • C – Colour – any uneven shade of brown, black, red, pink, white or blue

  • D – Diameter – you should be able to notice a significant change in size (more than 6mm)

What Changes Should I Pay Attention to During Self-Assessment?

  • Melanoma – the most dangerous form of skin cancer appears as a bump or pigmented patch. If you have lots of moles on your skin or have noticed new moles overgrowth, you should make an appointment to get your skin checked. The more moles on your skin, the higher risk of melanoma.

  • Basal cell carcinoma – look for small, smooth, pearly bumps or pink or brown coloured lesion.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma – usually appears as a firm, red nodule or a rough flat lesion. They may itch, become crusty or even bleed.

Did you know that -- It Takes Only One Mole to Turn Into a Melanoma?

A simple consultation with our board-certified specialist can save yours and your loved one’s life. You will be required to give your complete clinical history.

 

Our staff conducts a Full Body Scan, taking images of suspicious spots and moles. The images are immediately evaluated for any skin condition.

 

After that, our specialist inspects your entire body followed by confirmation of the diagnosis and early removal if necessary.

November 6th-8th, 2017, HEIDELBERG

 

HoSC is organised by PhD and MD students of the Research Training Group (RTG) 2099 Hallmarks of Skin Cancer, headed by Prof.Sergij Goerdt. The RTG profits from a lively exchange between its research centres in London, Mannheim and Heidelberg combining basic science and clinical education with the emphasis on the hallmarks of skin cancer.

Our aim is to improve the understanding of skin cancer biology by addressing the key questions regarding tumour initiation, progression and metastasis. Additionally, we focus on the questions surrounding the contribution of angiogenesis, immune response and stroma in tumourigenesis.

This conference will offer a platform for young scientists and students where they can meet outstanding experts in the field and establish contacts with fellow researchers from all over the world.

 

The conference will take place from 6th-8th November 2017 at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg.
