In the UK, an increasing number of patients with melanoma among older men
British doctors are sounding the alarm. Their research showed that from 60 years of age, the number of cases of detection of skin cancer in men is increasing annually by 12 percent. For comparison, the figure for women is nine percent, and young men did not exceed eight percent.
Such dynamics lead the melanoma is the fifth common cancer in the UK, and each year the number of people affected by this disease is more than 13. Thus, the annual rate of deaths from skin cancer in England regularly exceed two thousand men, which, according to experts, on a national scale is a disastrous figure.
Doctors believe that the increase in the number of patients with melanoma among older men was the result appeared in 60-ies of the last century of fashion in a strong tan. At that time chocolate skin color was especially popular among teenagers, and now this generation has reached 60-70 years.
Noteworthy is another fact: in most cases British doctors detect melanoma on the back, which when sunburn is most susceptible to UV rays. In addition, the back is a place, less noticeable in self-examination of the body for changes in a mole.
And it's not uncommon, when people do not attach importance to the growing moles, taking them for warts. And it is good if people will turn to the center of the wart removal, which will consider developing melanoma and will direct the patient for treatment in Oncology center. But in many cases this does not happen – skin changes remain without attention of people.
In this situation scientists believe that it is extremely important to remedy the situation is a large-scale programme for the prevention of skin cancer. The fashion for a tan will not go away, and naturally the number of people at risk, will not decrease. At the same time, timely inspection, which should be part of the national programme of fight against melanoma, will allow you to diagnose a dangerous disease and stop its development early on.
