It occurs when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells (most often caused by ultraviolet radiation from sunshine or tanning beds) triggers mutations, or genetic defects, that lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors.]]> 2019-04-30 00:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355252643 nkerr03 https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355253125 An actinic keratosis (AK), also known as a solar keratosis, is a crusty, scaly growth caused by damage from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. AK is considered a precancer because if left alone, it could develop into a skin cancer, most often the second most common form of the disease, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)]]> 2019-04-30 00:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355253125 nkerr03 https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355253743 Atypical moles may resemble melanoma, and people who have them are at increased risk of developing melanoma in a mole or elsewhere on the body. The higher the number of these moles someone has, the higher the risk. Those who have 10 or more have 12 times the risk of developing melanoma compared with the general population.]]> 2019-04-30 00:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355253743 nkerr03 https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355254126 Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive skin cancer that is at high risk of recurring and spreading (metastasizing) throughout the body, with most recurrences taking place within two years after diagnosis of the primary tumor. While the disease is 40 times rarer than melanoma (an estimated 0.24 cases per 100,000 persons in the U.S, or about 2,500 cases total),  it kills about one in three patients compared with one in nine for melanoma.]]> 2019-04-30 00:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355254126 nkerr03 https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355254704 The most dangerous form of skin cancer, these cancerous growths develop when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells (most often caused by ultraviolet radiation from sunshine or tanning beds) triggers mutations (genetic defects) that lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. These tumors originate in the pigment-producing melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis. Melanomas often resemble moles; some develop from moles. The majority of melanomas are black or brown, but they can also be skin-colored, pink, red, purple, blue or white.]]> 2019-04-30 01:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355254704 nkerr03 https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355581500 BCCs are abnormal, uncontrolled growths or lesions that arise in the skin’s basal cells, which line the deepest layer of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin). BCCs often look like open sores, red patches, pink growths, shiny bumps, or scars and are usually caused by a combination of cumulative and intense, occasional sun exposure.]]> 2019-04-30 18:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355581500 nkerr03 https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355582732 Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the second most common form of skin cancer, is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells arising from the squamous cells in the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer. It is sometimes called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) to differentiate it from very different kinds of SCCs elsewhere in the body. Cutaneous is the scientific word for “related to or affecting the skin.”]]> 2019-04-30 18:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nkerr03/30qtl4l4rqyf/wish/355582732
