不要暴曬:預防皮膚癌


皮膚癌是最常見的癌症類型。在美國每年有超過350萬例的非黑色素瘤皮膚癌被確診(遠超過其它四種主要癌症(前列腺、乳腺、肺和結直腸)的總和),而2014年預計超過76,000例的黑色素瘤(皮膚癌中最嚴重的一種)被診斷。這就是為什麽美國癌協會和全國皮膚癌預防委員會選定“陣亡將士紀念日”前的星期五作為“不要暴曬”日 --- 今年正好落在5月23日。

雖然皮膚癌的風險因素存在於每一天,但夏季長日的危險更大,因你可能在外麵待的時間更長。這張信息圖側重於易於遵循的提示,幫助您了解陽光和降低皮膚癌的風險。

陽光中的UVA,可致皮膚暗斑、皺紋、鬆弛和早衰;UVB可致曬傷和眼疾。兩者皆引發DNA損害(癌變)。但好消息是你能做許多預防來保護自己和家人。
 

Don't Fry: Preventing Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is the most common of all cancer types. More than 3.5 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States, and more than 76,000 cases of melanoma (the most serious form of skin cancer) are expected to be diagnosed in 2014. That’s why the American Cancer Society and the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention have designated the Friday before Memorial Day as Don’t Fry Day –– this year it falls on May 23, 2014. 

Although skin cancer risk factors are present every day, the dangers are greater during the long days of summer when you may spend more time in the sun. This infographic focuses on easy-to-follow tips to help you be sun sensible and reduce your risk of skin cancer.
