Recent research by the National Cancer Institute says that more women are being diagnosed with the most dangerous form of skin cancer melanoma. Too much sun exposure and lack of safe sunscreens contribute extensively in the sharp increase of Melanoma. While everyone is recommended to have reasonable amount of sun exposure (here you need to [...]
Melanoma cases of skin cancer increased by 50% in younger women, urging the need of more educational campaigns for younger people to help them understand how dangerous skin cancer is and what to do to protect themselves from the disease.
A team of researchers from National Cancer Institute examined data from government cancer statistics for the [...]
There is new hope for the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant malignant melanoma. Novel assay finds that widely prescribed anti-parasite drug targets cancer-causing protein.
Researchers at the NYU Cancer Institute and the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology have identified mebendazole, a drug used globally to treat parasitic infections, as a novel investigational agent for the treatment of [...]
According to a new report issued by Multnomah County Health Department, “Skin Cancer,” Oregon has one of the highest incidence rates in the U.S. of melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, along with Washington, Idaho, Utah, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Basal [...]
There is new hope for skin cancer treatment, says internationally known scientist in his book The Eggplant Cancer Cure.
70,000 Australians can’t be wrong! Yet that is the number of patients over many years of studies Dr. Bill E. Cham. Ph.D. claims have been cured of skin cancer using the breakthrough treatment documented in his book, [...]
Researchers have found that skin cancer has its own ‘odor profile’, which is easy to differ from a healthy skin profile.
The finding comes from Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia and will open doors for a new noninvasive way of diagnosing skin cancer quickly, easily, painlessly. The only approved way for diagnosis of skin cancer [...]
Those patients that are affected by non-melanoma skin cancer are more likely to develop other types of cancers later in life. Non-melanoma is a non-fatal form of skin cancer. It is known to increase the melanoma risk, but it has never been linked to other types of cancers than skin cancer.
A team of researchers from [...]
Individuals with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are at increased risk for other cancers, according to a study published in the August 26 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Previous studies have documented that people who have had non-melanoma skin cancer were at increased risk for developing melanoma, but it [...]
A new analysis indicates an association between a gene involved in vitamin D metabolism and skin cancer. Published in the November 1, 2008 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study suggests that individuals with certain variants in a vitamin D-related gene, called BsmI, may be at an increased risk [...]
A single ‘designer molecule’ tackles malignantmelanoma skin cancer cells by two completely different routes.
By playing it safe and using a two-pronged attack, a novel designer molecule fights skin cancer malignant melanoma. It was created and tested by an international team of researchers led by the University of Bonn. On the one hand, the substance is [...]
