Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US, affecting over 1 million Americans each year. The three primary types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. To help prevent skin cancer, limiting UV exposure by wearing protective clothing and sunscreen (SPF 15-30), avoiding midday sun, and getting regular skin exams by a physician are recommended. Early detection of skin cancer through self-exams and medical exams can help improve treatment outcomes.
The diagnosis and treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers in the U.S. increased by 77 percent between 1994 and 2014. ... Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer. An estimated 4.3 million cases of BCC are diagnosed in the U.S. each year resulting in more than 3,000 deaths.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
2. Overview
This session will provide the participant with a
quick overview of skin cancer, and how it relates
to those who work in the Department of the
Interior.
We’ll cover what it is, what causes it, how to spot
it early if it occurs, some treatment options, and
what can be done to prevent it.
Please see the “References” slide for more information, and
the excellent sources for much of this presentation
3. Why is skin cancer important?
It’s the most common type of cancer in the United
States;
about 40 to 50 percent of Americans who live to
age 65 will be diagnosed with it, at least once;
it’s found in more than 1 million Americans each
year;
it will kill nearly 8,000 people;
…. and it is largely preventable.

What Is Skin Cancer?
An abnormal overgrowth (a tumor) of certain
types of skin cells in the epidermis that began as
normal skin structures.
A tumor can be either benign (generally localized
and not life-threatening) or malignant (invasive or
spreading, and may be deadly).
Skin cancer is a malignant tumor, able to invade
surrounding tissues and metastasize (or spread) to
other parts of the body, BUT…..
6. Is skin cancer deadly?
… it depends on the type of skin cancer,
and how or if it’s treated, as we’ll discuss in
this session.
7. What causes skin cancer?
may be the main cause of
skin cancer.
Artificially-produced UV radiation, such as
from sunlamps and tanning booths, also can
cause skin cancer.
Predisposition (genetics).
Chemicals (e.g., trivalent inorganic arsenic).
8. Ultraviolet radiation
UVB rays (290-320 nm) are more likely than
UVA rays (400-320 nm) to cause sunburn.
But, UVA rays pass deeper into the skin.
UVB radiation is thought to be the cause of
melanoma and other types of skin cancer.
UVA radiation may cause skin damage that can
lead to skin cancer and cause premature aging of
the skin.
10. Actinic keratosis
A pre-cancerous condition of thick, scaly
patches of sun-damaged skin. Also referred
to as solar or senile keratosis.
11. Basal Cell Carcinoma
A type of skin cancer that arises from the basal
cells, small round cells found in the lower part (or
base) of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin.
12. Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma accounts for more than
90 percent of all skin cancers in the United
States.
It is a slow-growing cancer that seldom
spreads to other parts of the body, and
generally is readily treatable.
May erode into surrounding structures if not
treated.
13. Basal Cell Carcinoma
Three common presentations:
Small, smooth, pale,
or waxy shiny lump
Firm, red lump A lump that bleeds or
develops a crust
14. Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Cancer that begins in squamous cells, which are
thin, flat cells that look like fish scales.
Squamous cells are found in the tissue that forms
the surface of the skin.
Also found on other
internal and external
body surfaces.
15. Squamous Cell Carcinoma
More than 250,000 new cases of squamous
cell carcinoma diagnosed each year.
Often develop from sun damaged areas
called solar or actinic keratosis.
Look similar to basal cell carcinoma, and
even actinic keratosis.
17. Melanoma
A form of skin cancer that arises in melanocytes,
the cells that produce pigment and also are found
in the epidermis.
Melanomas usually begin in a mole, which is a
benign cluster of melanocytes and other tissue.
Normal
moles:
18. Melanoma
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin
cancer, causing more than 75% of all skin
cancer deaths.
About 53,600 people in the United States
were diagnosed with a melanoma skin.
cancer in 2002, and approximately 7,400
died from the disease.
19. Melanoma (the A-B-C and Ds)
Asymmetry -- The shape of one half does not match
the other.
20. Melanoma (the A-B-C and Ds)
Border -- The edges are often ragged, notched,
blurred, or irregular in outline; the pigment may
spread into the surrounding skin.
21. Melanoma (the A-B-C and Ds)
Color -- The color is uneven. Shades of black,
brown, and tan may be present. Areas of white,
grey, red, pink, or blue also may be seen.
22. Melanoma (the A-B-C and Ds)
Diameter -- There is a change in size, usually an
increase. Melanomas are usually larger than the
eraser of a pencil (5 mm or 1/4 inch).
23. Melanoma
May be found when a pre-existing mole changes:
Early changes
- forming a new black area
- newly formed fine scales
- itching in a mole
More advanced changes
- texture changes (becomes hard or lumpy)
- itch, ooze, or bleed
- usually do not cause pain
24. Who is at risk for skin cancer?
Light skin color, hair color, eye color.
Family history of skin cancer.
Personal history of skin cancer.
Certain types and a large number of moles.
Freckles, which indicate sun sensitivity and sun
damage.
Chronic exposure to the sun.
History of sunburns early in life.
25. Sunburns are common
The Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance
System provided data showing nearly 32%
of all adults in the US report having had a
sunburn in 1999.
More than 57% of adults age 18 to 29
reported having had a sunburn.
Over 40% of children are reported to have
had sunburns over the preceding year.
26. How is it found?
Mostly by self examination of the skin
By observations by family members
By skin examination during visits to the doctor
To catch it early, you have to LOOK for it!…
and then you have to DO something about it!
27. How is skin cancer treated?
The physician will:
Determine what type it is (medical history,
examination, biopsy)
Determine how localized or extensive it is
Then treat it….
surgery (e.g., Moh’s, cryo, laser, curettage, grafts)
chemotherapy
radiation
28. How can it be prevented?
Pick your parents very carefully!
While genetics isn’t the primary factor, having your
parents keep you from getting sunburns as a child is
important.
Too late for that? Keep your kids from getting sunburns.
Too late even for that? (Try to) keep their kids from
getting sunburns.
And, limit further overexposure and damage to
your own skin.
29. Why?
Because ongoing, excess UV light is harmful even
for adults:
Probably leads to more skin cancer, plus….
Skin damage
Cataracts and other eye disorders
Immune system suppression
31. Cataracts and other eye disorders
UV radiation increases the likelihood of:
Cataracts
Pterygium (i.e., tissue growth that can block vision)
Skin cancer around the eyes
Degeneration of the macula
32. Immune System Suppression
Overexposure to UV radiation may
suppress proper functioning of the body's
immune system and the skin's natural
defenses
33. How to limit sun damage to skin?
Avoid exposure to the midday sun
(10 a.m. to 2 p.m. standard time, or
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daylight saving time)
Wear protective clothing
(sun hats, long sleeves, long pants)
Apply and renew sunscreens
(those with an SPF of 15 to 30 block most of the
sun's harmful rays)
Use UVA- and UVB-blocking sunglasses
Watch the UV Index for your area
34. What else?
Don’t try to self diagnose!
Be sure your physician does a skin examination
when you have a physical.
See your physician if you find a new mole, or a
sore that doesn’t heal, or a change in the
appearance of any skin feature.
