Cancer Treatment and Health Care

The reason that causes this type of cancer is not entirely known. Yes, we have studied some factors that influence their occurrence.

Environmental factors

Excessive exposure to the sun influences the production of these cancers. People who work outdoors, such as farmers and sailors, have a higher incidence. Often occur on exposed skin, often in head and neck.

Although sunlight helps to synthesize vitamins A and D, overexposure, produce or burns, increases the risk of developing skin cancer, including malignant melanoma.

There is a correlation between risk of melanoma and latitude. It also influences the time period during which a person has lived in Ecuador-latitude countries, which means excessive sun exposure maintained for a period of life.

Not only influences but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight exposure, on time, on holiday for example, is a risk factor for melanoma.

Melanomas differ from malignant tumors non-melanoma skin about sex, age and body location. The majority of cutaneous malignant melanomas do not occur in areas receiving greater cumulative UV dose.

Although not known exactly what the most dangerous pattern of sun exposure, some studies support the hypothesis that intense, intermittent exposure to ultraviolet radiation of skin is normally protected is responsible for the formation of melanoma.

Age also appears to influence and burns from the sun before age 15 increases melanoma risk doubles.
