Hugh Jackman, a Hollywood movie star, loves to bask in the sun. Last year (20 13), he found spots on his nose, and was later diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, which recurred the next year after surgery. There is also 1 old farmer in China who mistook nasal spots for senile spots, only to find out that it was skin cancer when he went to the hospital for laser freckle removal. Doctors say that long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays is likely to increase the risk of skin cancer, and the prevention method is to do a good job of sun protection.

Hollywood movie star Hugh Jackman loves sunbathing and has been diagnosed with skin cancer twice. (Based on Wikipedia) 1 An 80-year-old farmer surnamed Liu in Central China has been engaged in agricultural work for nearly 60 years since he was young. Due to long-term sun exposure, there are black spots on his nose. Intuitively, he thought it was senile plaque, but the longer it grew, the bigger it bulged, which made him feel ugly. He wants to go to the hospital for laser freckle removal.

However, Chen Shiyi, a plastic surgeon at Children's General Hospital, found that these spots were suspected to be malignant lesions of the skin. After biopsy, the pathological diagnosis confirmed that it was basal cell carcinoma of skin, that is, extensive skin grafting was performed, and the postoperative recovery was good without recurrence and metastasis.

There are three types of skin cancer, among which basal cell carcinoma is the most common.

Dr. Chen Shiyi said that skin cancer can be roughly divided into three types: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma, among which basal cell carcinoma is the most common and the probability of metastasis is low; The main reason is long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays, such as sunlight, in which the face and neck account for about 80% of the disease.
