This document summarizes melanoma, a type of skin cancer. It originates from melanocytes in the skin or mucosal surfaces. Melanoma is more common and dangerous in white people and younger women. The main risk factor is ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning beds. There are four main types of melanoma named after their appearance or location on the skin. Doctors diagnose melanoma through history, physical exam, and biopsy. It is staged based on how deep it has penetrated the skin and if it has spread. Treatment options range from surgery for early stages to immunotherapy and chemotherapy for later stages.
This document provides an overview of melanoma, including its causes, risk factors, types, diagnosis, staging, and treatment. It discusses that melanoma arises from melanocytes, can spread from the skin to other organs, and accounts for the majority of skin cancer deaths. Early detection through changes in moles is important for improved prognosis, as thickness and spread determine survival rates. Surgical removal is the main treatment, and sentinel lymph node biopsy helps determine if it has spread to lymph nodes.

Melanoma – Prevention, Detection and TreatmentSummit Health
Sun safety needs to start at an early age in order to reduce the risk for skin cancer. In this lecture, you will learn about prevention, diagnosis, sun safety tips and new treatments for skin cancer to help you and your family reduce your risk.
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is caused by unrepaired DNA damage and mutations in these cells that lead to uncontrolled growth. While not the most common cancer, melanoma is particularly dangerous due to its ability to spread quickly if not detected early. Risk factors include excessive sun exposure, the presence of many moles or abnormal moles, fair skin, and family history. There are different types of melanoma that can vary in appearance, location, and growth patterns. Early detection of melanoma greatly increases survival rates.
Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that arises in melanocytes, which are skin cells that produce melanin. It is caused by exposure to UV radiation from the sun in most cases. There are several stages of melanoma based on how deep it has penetrated the skin and whether it has spread to lymph nodes or distant organs. Early stage melanoma can usually be cured with surgery, while later stages may require additional treatments like chemotherapy. Prevention through sun protection and skin self-examinations is important to detect melanoma early.
This document provides information on malignant melanoma. Some key points:
- Melanoma is a malignancy of melanocytes that can occur in skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It has a high ability to metastasize to other organs.
- Incidence is increasing worldwide. Risk factors include fair skin, moles, UV exposure, and family history.
- Diagnosis involves examining lesions for characteristics like asymmetry, irregular borders, varied color, and size over 6mm. Biopsies are used to confirm.
- Staging uses the TNM system and considers tumor thickness, ulceration, and lymph node/distant organ involvement. Prognosis depends on stage - thicker tumors over 2mm
This document provides information about skin cancer, including facts, risk factors, types of skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma), signs of melanoma, and ways to protect skin from UV radiation and prevent skin cancer. It discusses that skin cancer is the most common cancer, caused by UV radiation exposure, and outlines strategies like wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, and limiting midday sun exposure to reduce skin cancer risk.
This document provides information about melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer. It defines melanoma as cancer of the melanocytes, which are cells that produce skin pigment. Risk factors include family history, many moles, sunburn, and fair skin. Signs include changes in existing moles or new abnormal growths. The stages are described from earliest (stage 0) to latest (stage IV), with treatment options at each stage. Prevention focuses on sun protection and avoiding sun exposure when UV rays are strongest.
Melanoma is the sixth most common cancer in the US, with 68,000 new cases diagnosed each year and 8,700 annual deaths. Risk factors include fair skin, light eyes, family history, and sun exposure. Melanoma has been recognized as a disease since 1806 and stages range from Stage 0 precancerous lesions to Stage IV metastatic cancer. Treatment options depend on the stage and may include surgery, radiation, immunotherapy, and experimental therapies.
1. Melanoma is a malignant tumor of melanocytes that can arise in the skin or other parts of the body.
2. Risk factors for melanoma include excessive exposure to UV radiation, fair skin, and family history.
3. There are several types of melanoma including superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna, and acral lentiginous melanoma.
4. Prevention strategies include avoiding sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, and eating a diet high in antioxidants. Medical treatment options include immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy and biologic therapy.
This document discusses skin cancer and malignant melanoma. It provides statistics on melanoma survival rates in Ukraine versus the US. It describes the biological progression of melanoma from melanocytes to metastatic melanoma. Risk factors for melanoma are described including age, race, sun exposure, and hereditary or genetic factors. Screening, diagnosis, staging, treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are outlined. Growth patterns, recurrence, and palliative care are also mentioned. Precancerous skin conditions and TNM classification of skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are defined.
This document summarizes different types of skin cancer and their characteristics. It discusses the three main types: non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type, usually appearing as nodular lesions on sun-exposed areas. Squamous cell carcinoma is also common and can metastasize. Melanoma subtypes include superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna, and acral lentiginous. Prevention strategies focus on reducing sun exposure and applying sunscreen. Surgical excision is a common treatment, along with Mohs surgery, radiation, and medical therapies.
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. Often the first sign of melanoma is a change in the size, shape, color or feel of a mole. Most melanomas have a black or black-blue area. Melanoma may also appear as a new mole. It may be black, abnormal or "ugly looking."
Thinking of "ABCD" can help you remember what to watch for:
Asymmetry - the shape of one half does not match the other
Border - the edges are ragged, blurred or irregular
Color - the color is uneven and may include shades of black, brown and tan
Diameter - there is a change in size, usually an increase
Melanoma can be cured if it is diagnosed and treated early. If melanoma is not removed in its early stages, cancer cells may grow downward from the skin surface and invade healthy tissue. If it spreads to other parts of the body it can be difficult to control.

Malignant melanoma is a rapidly spreading skin cancer that can occur at any age. It arises from melanocytes and spreads locally and systemically through lymphatics and blood vessels. Risk factors include excessive sun exposure, the presence of moles or dysplastic nevi, and family history. There are several clinical variants classified by their appearance and prognosis, with nodular melanoma having the worst prognosis. Diagnosis involves histological examination showing malignant melanocytes in the skin with features of invasion and metastasis. Treatment involves surgical excision and may include lymph node dissection, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. Prognosis depends on the depth of tumor invasion.
This document discusses melanoma, the most fatal form of skin cancer. It covers the incidence and risk factors of melanoma including genetics, sun exposure, and skin phenotype. The clinical features and subtypes of melanoma like superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna, and acral lentiginous melanoma are described. Diagnosis involves methods like the ABCDE rule and biopsy for suspicious lesions. Staging uses the TNM system and prognostic factors include tumor thickness and mitotic rate. Management involves wide local excision of primary tumors and sentinel lymph node biopsy for involved nodes. Long term surveillance after treatment monitors for recurrence.
Melanoma is the 5th and 6th most common malignancy in men and women respectively. It accounts for a disproportionate number of skin cancer deaths. Risk factors include family history, fair skin, intermittent sun exposure, and dysplastic nevi. Melanomas arise from melanocytes and can present in different clinical subtypes depending on their location and growth pattern. Prognosis depends on tumor thickness, ulceration status, mitotic rate, and presence of metastases. Treatment involves surgical excision with margins and possible lymph node evaluation and adjuvant therapy for advanced cases. Lifelong surveillance is important due to the risk of recurrence even decades later.
Malignant melanoma arises from melanocytes and is the deadliest type of skin cancer. Risk factors include fair skin, sun exposure, and genetic conditions. It can occur on skin or mucosal surfaces. Histologically, it is characterized by large epithelioid cells with nucleoli. Staging is based on tumor depth and spread. Prognosis depends on thickness, subtype, site, and presence of metastases. Treatment involves wide local excision and lymph node dissection. Oral melanoma has an especially poor prognosis despite aggressive treatment.
This document outlines the management of head and neck melanoma. It discusses the epidemiology, classification, evaluation, diagnosis and prognostic factors of melanoma. It emphasizes that surgical excision is the standard treatment for primary melanoma and margins depend on tumor thickness. Staging relies on the AJCC system and considers factors like thickness, ulceration, mitosis and lymph node involvement to determine prognosis.
Malignant melanoma incidence has been increasing 6% per year, making it one of the fastest growing cancers. Early diagnosis through thorough examination and surgical removal of the tumor are the most important treatment methods. Survival rates have increased from 50% in 1960 to 80% in 1990 due to earlier detection and treatment. Risk factors include fair skin, sun exposure, and genetic conditions.
Malignant melanoma begins in melanocytes in the epidermis and is becoming more common, rising 3% per year. It accounts for about 2-4% of skin cancers. Risk factors include sun exposure and fair skin. Early stage melanoma is treated with wide local excision, while more advanced cases may also require sentinel node biopsy. Treatment of metastatic melanoma has advanced significantly with targeted therapies blocking oncogenic pathways like BRAF and immunotherapies disrupting checkpoints like CTLA-4. Long term survival depends on factors like depth of invasion and ulceration.
This document provides an overview of malignant melanoma, including its aetiology, types, risk factors, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and prevention. Malignant melanoma arises from melanocytes in the basal layer of the skin and less commonly in the eye or meninges. The main types are superficial spreading melanoma, nodular melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, and lentigo maligna melanoma. Risk factors include excessive sun exposure, genetic predisposition, numerous benign moles, and family history. Diagnosis involves examining moles for changes in size, irregular pigmentation, asymmetry, and diameter. Prognosis depends on the Breslow thickness and presence of ulceration. Treatment involves surgical resection with chemotherapy or immunotherapy in

Cancer, types of cancer and homeopathy treatmentPranav Pandya
Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that can spread to other parts of the body. There are over 100 types of cancer that can develop in different parts of the body like the breast, skin, lungs, colon, prostate, and lymphatic system. Symptoms vary depending on the type and location of the cancer. Some common causes of cancer are tobacco use, diet, obesity, infections, radiation, and environmental pollutants. While some cancers are hereditary, most are caused by environmental factors. Homeopathy looks to treat the whole person and provides customized, natural remedies to help relax, cope with stress, and support the body's healing in cancer.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, with over 3.5 million cases per year in the United States. Early detection and treatment are key to prevention and survival of skin cancer. The document discusses the different types of skin cancer - basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma - and provides photos of examples of lesions that may indicate skin cancer. It emphasizes the importance of getting annual skin exams and having any suspicious marks checked by a doctor.
This document discusses two approaches to organizing CSS stylesheets: OOCSS and SMACSS. OOCSS follows object-oriented principles like single responsibility and separation of concerns. SMACSS (Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS) is a style guide that separates CSS into base, layout, module, and state categories. It also discusses module subcategories, theme styles, and tips for writing CSS code.
Radiation therapy can play a role in the treatment of both primary and metastatic malignant melanoma. For primary disease, adjuvant radiation may be considered after surgery for desmoplastic or neurotropic melanomas or those with narrow margins. For lymph node metastases, adjuvant radiation after lymphadenectomy reduces the risk of local recurrence. For brain metastases, radiosurgery provides better local control than whole brain radiation and improved survival compared to surgery alone. Radiation is also effective for symptom relief of other metastatic sites and provides high objective response rates.

Melanoma precursors include dysplastic nevi and congenital nevi. Dysplastic nevi are acquired lesions with atypical melanocytes that may develop into melanoma. Congenital nevi present at birth and range in size from small to giant lesions. There are four main types of cutaneous melanoma: superficial spreading melanoma, nodular melanoma, lentigo maligna melanoma, and acral lentiginous melanoma. They differ in their epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and prognosis. Early detection and excision of melanoma precursors and lesions improves patient outcomes.
Melanoma can be identified using the mnemonic "ABCDE" where A represents asymmetry, B represents irregular borders, C represents varied color, D represents a diameter greater than 6mm, and E represents changes over time. An additional mnemonic "EFG" identifies features of melanoma where E represents an elevated lesion, F represents a firm texture, and G represents growth over time. Nodular melanoma has additional characteristics of being elevated growths.
Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that starts in melanocytes, the skin cells that produce pigment. It is one of the most common cancers affecting people aged 25-29. Since 1980, there has been a 50% increase in melanoma cases among women aged 15-39. The document discusses the causes, risks, symptoms, detection, stages, treatment and prevention of melanoma. Early detection through skin exams and prompt surgical removal of suspicious moles or tumors can help detect and treat melanoma before it spreads to other parts of the body. Prevention includes using sunscreen and avoiding tanning beds.
Early Detection of Melanoma and Other Skin CancersSummit Health
This lecture provides an overview of skin cancer including risks, early detection, and treatment. Learn to identify the early signs of skin cancer. Melanoma and non-melanoma skin tumors will be discussed and prevention of skin cancer will be emphasized.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer, with over 1 million new cases occurring in the US each year. There are three main types of skin cancer - basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common but least dangerous, usually appearing on the face and ears. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common and can spread beneath the skin. Melanoma is the least common but most lethal form, important to diagnose early since it spreads quickly. Risk factors include excessive sun exposure before age 25 and having fair skin. Self-exams should check for changes in existing moles using the ABCDE criteria of asymmetry, border, color, diameter and evolving characteristics.
Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that develops in melanocytes, which are skin cells that produce melanin. Anyone can get melanoma, but those with light hair, eyes, and skin are at higher risk. Some signs of melanoma include a mole that changes size, shape, or color or is wider than a pencil eraser. Melanoma is caused by ultraviolet radiation from tanning beds and sun exposure, so protecting your skin from the sun can help prevent melanoma.
The document discusses skin cancer, including its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It notes that skin cancer begins in the epidermis and there are three main types - basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the primary cause of skin cancer. Risk factors include light skin, sun exposure, and family history. Diagnosis involves biopsies, while treatment depends on the cancer type and can include excision or removal.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Dr. Ashfaq AfridiAshfaqafridi93
Squamous cell carcinoma is a common form of skin cancer that develops in squamous cells in the epidermis. It is usually curable if caught early, but can metastasize in some cases. Risk factors include fair skin, sun exposure, and weakened immune system. Symptoms include new growths, sores that don't heal, or changes to existing growths. Diagnosis involves biopsy and examination under a microscope. Treatment options include excision, Mohs surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy depending on the severity and location of cancer. Prognosis is generally good if caught early, but decreases if cancer spreads to lymph nodes or other organs.
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer caused by changes in skin cells called melanocytes. Risk factors for melanoma include fair skin, light hair or eye color, sun exposure, sunburn history, and use of tanning beds. Early detection of melanoma is important, as it involves monitoring moles and skin spots for changes in appearance, size, or other characteristics. Prevention strategies encompass regular skin exams, sun protection with broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher, limiting sun exposure, and avoiding tanning beds. Treatment options are determined by the severity and stage of melanoma, ranging from surgery to chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Though some skin conditions can be treated with over-the- counter lotions, creams and gels, others are more serious — sometimes even life threatening — and need to be evaluated and treated by a board-certified dermatologist. How can you tell whether your skin condition is serious enough to require professional help? These five signs will help you determine when it’s time to find a dermatologist.

This document provides information about malignant melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer. It begins by defining melanoma as cancer originating from melanocytes, the skin cells responsible for pigmentation. It then describes the different types of melanoma and their characteristics. Risk factors for melanoma include sun exposure, personal or family history of skin cancer, fair skin, and a weakened immune system. Stages of melanoma are explained from Stage 0 to Stage IV. Diagnosis involves examination of moles and lesions. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and biological therapy. Nursing care focuses on prevention through sun protection and monitoring for complications.
Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that develops in melanocytes, which are skin cells that produce pigment. While melanoma can affect anyone, those with fair skin are at higher risk. The risk increases with age, though it can occur in younger people as well. Signs of melanoma include changes in the size, shape, color or edges of moles. Risk factors include sun exposure and tanning bed use. Melanoma is less common than basal and squamous cell skin cancers but is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
This document discusses malignant melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer. It begins by describing melanoma as cancer originating from melanocytes, which are skin cells that produce pigment. The document then covers risk factors for melanoma like family history and sun exposure.

This document discusses breast cancer, including its different types and risk factors. It notes that breast cancer arises from the breast ducts or glands, with ductal carcinoma being the most common type at around 80% of cases. Ductal carcinoma arises from the lining of breast ducts. Lobular carcinoma arises from the smallest ducts or milk glands and accounts for around 10-15% of cases. Men can also develop breast cancer, though it is much less common. Risk factors include family history, age, estrogen exposure, obesity, alcohol use, and smoking. Prognosis depends on factors like cancer stage, lymph node involvement, tumor size, and receptor status. Treatments may include surgery, chemotherapy,
Skin complications are common in cancer patients undergoing treatment. Some of the most common complications include decubitus ulcers, malignant ulcers caused by cancer, fungating tumors, and infections. While these complications are manageable, prevention is the best approach to improve quality of life, reduce expenses, and make better use of resources. Zinc oxide and calamine ointment can help prevent and treat many skin problems by protecting and promoting healing.
Skin cancer is a disease where skin cells lose the ability to divide and grow normally. There are three main types of skin cancer - basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is a major cause of skin cancer, along with genetics, radiation treatment, tanning beds, and sun lamps. People at higher risk include those with fair skin who spend a lot of time outdoors, have a history of sunburns, family history of skin cancer, many moles, or are over age 40. Skin cancer symptoms vary depending on type, but may include firm bumps or lesions on sun-exposed areas that may be flat, scaly, or change in color or size.
A Survey on Skin Cancer Detection SystemIJERA Editor
Skin cancers are the most common form of cancers found in humans. This is the most deadly form of cancer. Most of the skin cancers are curable at initial stages. So an early detection of skin cancer can save the patients. With the advancement of technology, early detection of skin cancer is possible. According to the literature, skin lesion structure is an important diagnostic parameter. In this paper, an introduction is given about different characteristics of the skin cancer and a brief review has been on types of skin cancer, skin cancer causes & symptoms. A survey has been given which carry out the analysis of skin cancer detection by different methods of the diagnosing methodology uses Image processing techniques. Finally, general method of skin cancer detection is presented with all possible image segmentation algorithms.
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can be deadly if not detected early. It is important to protect skin from UV radiation by wearing sunscreen, limiting sun exposure, and wearing protective clothing. Getting regular skin exams is key to detecting melanoma or other skin cancers early before they become life threatening. Prevention through sun protection and skin self-exams can help reduce skin cancer risk.
Skin cancer- what is skin cancer, its risk factorsdraishwarya326
Skin cancer is a condition characterized by the abnormal growth of skin cells, typically as a result of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. This abnormal growth leads to the formation of tumors or lesions on the skin, which can vary in size, shape, and color. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, with millions of cases diagnosed each year.
Skin cancer is caused by mutations in the DNA of skin cells that cause uncontrolled growth. The main types are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma, which is the most dangerous. Risk factors include fair skin, moles, sun exposure, and family history. Protection methods involve limiting sun exposure, wearing protective clothing and sunscreen, and monitoring moles.

Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm

clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
