不要暴晒:预防皮肤癌


皮肤癌是最常见的癌症类型。在美国每年有超过350万例的非黑色素瘤皮肤癌被确诊(远超过其它四种主要癌症(前列腺、乳腺、肺和结直肠)的总和),而2014年预计超过76,000例的黑色素瘤(皮肤癌中最严重的一种)被诊断。这就是为什么美国癌协会和全国皮肤癌预防委员会选定“阵亡将士纪念日”前的星期五作为“不要暴晒”日 --- 今年正好落在5月23日。

虽然皮肤癌的风险因素存在于每一天,但夏季长日的危险更大,因你可能在外面待的时间更长。这张信息图侧重于易于遵循的提示,帮助您了解阳光和降低皮肤癌的风险。

阳光中的UVA,可致皮肤暗斑、皱纹、松弛和早衰;UVB可致晒伤和眼疾。两者皆引发DNA损害(癌变)。但好消息是你能做许多预防来保护自己和家人。
 

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.
