Extractions: As above, the skin is made of various cells, including basal cells, squamous cells, and melanocytes. Normally these cells divide very quickly in womb life, early childhood and through puberty to grow the adult body. In adulthood, the middle and upper layers of skin will grow to repair an injury or to replace cells which have died of old age. If the basal (underlying) layer is damaged, as in a third degree burn, then the skin must be grafted to heal properly. Like all body cells, the division of skin cells is under very tight control, by the genetic material ("genes") within each cell. When certain damage occurs within these genes, control over ordered cell division may be lost, and the nature of these cells dramatically changed. Any type of skin cell can give rise to skin cancer, if it's reproduction goes out of control, and it divides in a disorganized way. Most lumps and bumps (tumors) found within the skin are benign . In contrast, a tumor which

Extractions: Skin cancer is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the outer layers of the skin. The skin protects the body against heat, light, infection, and injury. It also stores water, fat, and vitamin D. The skin has 2 main layers and several kinds of cells. The top layer of skin is called the epidermis. It contains 3 kinds of cells: flat, scaly cells on the surface called squamous cells; round cells called basal cells; and cells called melanocytes, which give the skin its color. The inner layer of skin is called the dermis. This layer is thicker, and contains blood vessels, nerves, and sweat glands. The hair on the skin also grows from tiny pockets in the dermis, called follicles. The dermis makes sweat, which helps to cool the body, and oils that keep the skin from drying out. There are several types of cancer that start in the skin. The most common are basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer, which are covered in this PDQ patient information summary. These types of skin cancer are called nonmelanoma skin cancer. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that starts in the melanocytes. It is not as common as basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, but it is much more serious. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Melanoma Treatment for more information.)

Extractions: Dermatology malignant melanoma Photograph Used By Permission: National Cancer Institute Skin cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the skin cells and strikes more people worldwide than any other form of cancer. In the US alone, more than one million Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Fortunately, skin cancers (basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma) are rare in children. When melanomas occur, they usually arise from pigmented nevi (moles) that are large (diameter greater than 6 mm), asymmetric, with irregular borders and coloration. Bleeding, itching, and a mass under the skin are other signs of cancerous change. If a child has had radiation treatment for cancer, nevi in the radiated area are at increased risk of becoming cancerous. What causes skin cancer?

In 1985 he specialised in surgery, training in military hospitals in Yorkshire, Northern Ireland, London, Hong Kong and Nepal. He started working in Plastic Surgery in 1986.

Extractions: Basal Cell Carcinoma I. Definition: A basal cell carcinoma is a form of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinomas are the result of sun damage to the skin. Basal cell carcinomas enlarge slowly and steadily and can invade neighboring tissue, like the eye, but they usually do not spread to distant parts of the body (metastasize). The only way to tell for sure if a skin growth is cancerous is to biopsy it. This involves removing a small piece of the skin and having a pathologist look at it under the microscope in a medical laboratory. A biopsy does not remove the cancer, it only takes off t he very top (like the tip of an iceberg). Sometimes the skin will heal after the biopsy because it grows over the cancer. This does not mean the cancer is gone, it means the cancer is now covered with a blanket of skin. If the cancer is not removed completely it can go deep into the skin and cause great harm. II. Causes: Repeated, prolonged sun exposure causes skin damage which may develop into basal cell carcinoma. The sun damage responsible for a basal cell carcinoma usually occurred years before the cancer begins.
Extractions: Introduction Each year, about a million people in the United States learn that they have skin cancer . This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet (NIH Publication No. 95-1564) will give you some important information about this disease. It explains how skin cancer is diagnosed and treated and has information about preventing this disease. Other NCI booklets are listed in the Other Booklets section. Our materials cannot answer every question you may have about skin cancer. They cannot take the place of talks with doctors, nurses, and other members of the health care team. We hope our information will help with those talks. Research has led to better methods of diagnosing and treating this disease. It is encouraging to know that skin cancer is now almost 100 percent curable if found early and treated promptly.

At The James, we have cancer experts who have dedicated their lives to supporting and caring for cancer patients and their families, and we believe our team approach provides the best cancer research and treatment. With research and treatment areas under one roof, we are able to better facilitate translational research and the application of research advances to patient care. Physicians and researchers at the OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute are continually seeking new answers to our questions about cancer. Recent research advancements include: A laboratory study led by Anne VanBuskirk, PhD, OSUCCC Immunology Program, to find immunological approaches to help organ transplant patients fight skin cancer, a disease to which they are highly susceptible. A study examining the use of a newly developed, molecularly targeted drug designed to inhibit key cancer growth factors. Interim results suggest the drug may be helpful in controlling malignant melanoma, which typically responds poorly to traditional treatments with chemotherapy or radiation. Dr. Carson is the lead investigator.
