Dr. Christoph Meyer-Josten of clinical Glorieta explains how to prevent diseases and talks about skin cancer. The doctor points out that society, in general, only goes to the doctor when he feels discomfort or pain, "You don't usually pay attention to the body as it should be," Meyer indicated Josten.
This passive attitude "It makes us not realize that we suffer from some kind of illness or disorder until it is too late", says the doctor and adds that many diseases "They could have stopped, slowed down their progress or even cured in time if we had performed preventive medical exams".
Clearly we can not go to the doctor every month to check every one of our body parts but the fact is that we could avoid some diseases are skin cancer, "Especially if you have spent a summer with summer with lots of sun exposure"Said Dr. Meyer.
In many cases of skin cancer can be stopped in time removing the affected tissue but, the problem is that this is a disease with which you do not feel any pain, at least during the early stages of the disease.
One of the most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma. This type of cancer accounts for 78% of all skin cancers and causes of increased skin cancer not only found in the deterioration of the ozone layer, but also, prolonged sun exposure, especially during the summer months.
Carcinoma is much more common than malignant melanoma, despite the latter being much better known. Carcinoma is cancer the most common skin in 78%. Carcinoma, often goes unnoticed and, when it is detected it is well advanced. Therefore, go to the dermatologist frequently (once a year) to check our skin, it can help us feel safe because, from the beginning identifying the problem, the carcinoma is much easier to treat.
