24 Melanoma
25 Melanoma One of the most serious and deadly forms of skin cancer, if not diagnosed and treated in time Originates in the pigmentproducing melanocytes
26 Be smart about melanoma One blistering sunburn when young can double a person's chances of developing melanoma; more sunburns, more risk Every six minutes, one new case of melanoma could be diagnosed in the US this year The number of new melanoma cases has more than doubled in the last 30 years; Montana s rate is growing nearly seven times faster than US overall Melanoma is the most common cancer for women age 25-29, and the second most common for age 15-29
27 Melanoma can be deadly One American dies of melanoma every hour
28 Be watchful for melanoma May appear as a new mole, or in an existing mole or freckle that changes in color, size or shape Usually has an irregular outline and is more than one color Grows over weeks to months and may appear anywhere on the body, even in places not exposed to ultraviolet rays Can spread to other parts of the body, if not diagnosed and treated in time
29 The ABCDEs of Melanoma
30 Is it Asymmetric? A = Asymmetry
31 B = Border Is the Border irregular or poorly defined?
32 C = Color Is it more than one Color?
33 D = Diameter Is the Diameter larger than the size of a pencil eraser?
34 E = Evolving Is it Evolving, changing in size, shape or color?
35 Who is at risk? Exposed to excessive amounts of unprotected natural sunlight and/or indoor tanning Family or personal history of melanoma Multiple or unusual-looking moles Fair skin, blue, green or hazel eyes, red or blond hair, and/or excessive freckling
36 Who is at risk? Traumatized skin sites such as major scars or burn areas Weakened immune system, especially after an organ transplant Extended exposure to toxic substances such as coal tar, arsenic compounds, creosote, pitch or paraffin oil
