Skin cancer trigger other types of cancer growth - Patients at high risk of skin cancer turned out to other types of cancer in the future, according to new research.
The study says that women with a rather non-melanoma skin cancer (such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma) 26 percent risk of another cancer in the future. While for men, the risk of experiencing similar conditions is 15 percent.
A total of 150,000 respondents involved in the research conducted for over 20 years. So that there is strong evidence that skin cancer can trigger the growth of other types of cancer in a person.
According to Professor Anthony Alberg of the Medical University of South Carolina who was not involved in the research, non-melanoma skin cancer is common and its not too deadly. However, the study makes many health experts were quite surprised and started noticing more seriously.
As reported by My Health News Daily, if the cancer is non-melanoma cancers eventually lead to melanoma, is the most likely cause of excessive sun exposure.
However, if the cancer is non-melanoma increases the risk of other types of cancer, many researchers are still questioning the cause. Some experts suspect cells in DNA failed to make improvements, so that other types of cancer appeared and attacked the former non-melanoma cancer patients.
Professor Alberg also hoped that the research could be explored further to find out what exactly triggers of other types of cancer in survivors of non-melanoma cancer.
