Physical Effect of Cancer


The physical impact of cancer and cancer treatment
may affect your quality of life … care for dry skin
with a mild soap and moisturizer, and avoid
exfoliating ingredients.

Most skin cancer are caused by exposure to the sun.


This may be long term exposure or short periods.

How skin cancer affects the body


It depends on the type of skin cancer. How skin
cancer affect the body heavily depends on the type of
skin cancer the occurs. There 3 common types:
Squamous cell carcinoma,Basal cell carcinoma and
Melanoma… For Melanoma, the most dangerous
type of skin cancer surgery is the main treatment.
Skin Cancer/ Skin Cancer Facts Common
Skin Cancer Types

Skin Cancer is by far the most common type of


cancer. If you have skin cancer, it is important to
know.
Skin cancer- the abnormal growth of skin cells- Most
often develops on skin exposed to the sun… There
are three major types of skin cancer-Basal cell
carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma and
Melanoma. You can reduce your risk of skin cancer
by limiting or avoiding exposure to ultraviolet (UV)
radiation.

Shielding-heavey, dense materials (like thick
walls,earth, concrete, bricks, water and books)
between you and fallout is best. Stay indoors or
below ground. (Taking shelter in a below reduces
exposure by 90%.

Distance- it is important to get as much distance
as possible between the yourslelf and the nuclear
particles. Shielding-the heavier and denser the
material (thick walls, concrete, bricks, books and
earth)between you and the fallout particles, the
better.
Protecting Yourself From Nuclear Radiation Exposure

You can better yourself situation by having a root cellar,or


underground selter, By Having your selther underground,
you will protect your group from the radioactive fallout by
having at least 24’’ of compact earth corering all sides of
your shelter.

Ultraviolet is electromagnetic radiaton with a waveleight


from 10nm to 400 nm. Shorter the that of visible light but
longer that X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight
constituting about 10% of total light output of the Sun.
What causes UV radiation

Exposure to UV radiation is the main factor that


causes skin cells to become cancer cells. Almost all
skin cancers (approximately 99% of non-melanoma
skin cancers and 95%of melanoma are causes by too
much UV radiation from the sun or other sources
such as solaria ( solariums, sunbeds,and sun lamps).
Can UV Cause Cancer?

Too Much UV radiation from sun or sunbeds can


damage the genetic material (the DNA) in your skin
cells. If enough DNA damage buils up over time, it
can cause cells to start growing out of control, which
can lead to skin cancer. Your body has ways of
repairing most of damage

of the electromagnetic spectrum between x rays.
