A: There are various kinds of pancreatic cancer treatment that patients may undergo after a cancer diagnosis. The type of treatment used may depend on how far progressed the cancer is and whether or not it is confined only to the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest types of cancer to treat, but if caught early and treated aggressively, many patients will survive. The first type of pancreatic cancer treatment is surgery. This is the cutting away of a tumor from...

A: Stage 3 squamous cell skin cancer (also known as stage III non-melanoma skin cancer) is one that has spread below the skin to cartilage, muscle, or bone and/or to nearby lymph nodes. The survival rate for this stage is not great. However, according to The skin cancer Foundation the likelihood of developing stage 3 squamous cell skin cancer is quite small. It tends to stay localized. FYI: The same staging definition applies to basal cell skin cancer which is the second type

A: Its probably nothing but you should get it looked at anyway. By a dermatoligist. If you''ve had it all your life, it is probably not cancer. Birthmarks tend to have irregular edges to them. However, next time you see your doctor, have it checked out to make sure it hasn''t turned into cancer (a possibility - depending on the type of birthmark). go to a doctor and tell the doctor u have a possibility of having skin cancer he will give u a check up and see if u do and send the test results to a lab and the results should come in 1-2 weeks i hope u dont have cancer may god bless u! more...

A: i dont think you can do anything. maybe cut it off at home or something?? try some skin care stuff, like proactive or other things. Go to the doctor and see if there''s any type of cream you could use to calm it down a little. If that doesn''t work, then you should be proud of who you are and don''t worry about it and have fun. 10 years I kinda doubt it is cancer but you should definitely get it checked out if it is growing. Go to your GP asap! it mite be a mole, but if not, go to the doctor go to the doctor hope you dont have it? It''s really important that you try to get help, try your docter or your hospital, because if it is cancer, you...

A: that sounds more like a rash... but you should have them checked out since you had them quite a while... i think not, but at least go see a dermatologist. skin cancer generally appear as a raw meat (like pork chop).. it is either a squamous cell carcinoma or a basal cell carcinoma. red dots dont fit th picture.. skin cancer most likely would be appearing like a mole. It sounds like you have something else. See a dermatologist to be sure though Do they itch? I was diagnosed w/ squamous cell carcinoma after having a red spot that had been present for about a year biopsied. It looks a lot like the eczema I get now and then. I would see a dermatologist just in case but it''s probably nothing...

A: Lynch syndrome skin cancer is skin cancer that results from an inherited condition by the same name. The primary concern for people with Lynch Syndrome is that they run an increased risk of contracting cancers of the digestive tract. But this genetic defect also predisposes people to other types of cancer, including skin. So if a person is diagnosed with lynch syndrome skin cancer prevention should be taken very seriously. In other words, don`t just rely on self-exams....

A: The three main kinds of skin cancer: basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. They all originate from different cell types and therefore have very different behaviors. Basal cells and squamous cells are limited to the outer skin, so they invade locally. They''re very curable cancers that are usually treated by removal of the cancerous growth. These two skin cancers are linked to sun exposure. Melanoma—the skin cancer most associated with risk of death—is the most...

A: skin cancer is often triggered by radiation, and noses stick out and so, they are exposed to more radiation. There are several common types and most are treatable and there is life after cancer. The nose is the area of your face that protrudes the most, therefore, it gets the most sun exposure which has been known to cause skin cancer. It''s also the area not covered by scarves or hair adding to the exposure risk. The nose and tops of the ears are common sites for skin cancer, which is caused by sun damage. Because the...

A: If you used the right type of sun screen with a high SPF then no. no OMG! .. Sun Cream before tanning.. not after!! You wont get cancer. But if you use 5 in sun screen protection, that isnt the safest thing. why dont you just get a spray tan? not if you protect yourself properly When your skin gets tanned, the "tan" is actually damaged skin. But you cant be a hermit, so just make sure you keep reapplying. Rock on. sunscreen will help you not get skin cancer but the only sure way is to stay clear of UV rays.. natrual or otherwise. Your question get a C-. I would like to see better from you next time. I dont...

A: Yes, skin cancer can cause bumps. However, it`s sometimes difficult to tell skin cancer bumps from benign bumps. I`m told that a non-melanoma skin cancer usually looks like a non-healing skin-colored or reddish bump that bleeds easily and doesn`t heal, even after many weeks or months. I`ve seen pictures, but never the real deal. Also, certain melanomas can take the form of a dome-shaped bump. This type (I believe it`s called nodular melanoma) can be black, dark, brown, red or blue. FYI: These skin cancer bumps grow quickly and have the lowest...
