Video #2 of 4

These introductory skin cancer video modules engages novice health care professionals to make histological-clinical correlations for the three most common skin cancers: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

The goal of this video module is to engage novice health care professionals to go beyond the all-too-common phenomenon of memorizing gross and histological features of skin cancers without reference to the relationship between these features. By explicitly highlighting underlying histological-clinical correlations for BCC, SCC, and melanoma, this video module helps learners build a deeper and lasting knowledge of these common diseases.

This module was successfully incorporated into the first-year flipped classroom curriculum for medical and dental students at Harvard Medical School. Written comments from students revealed that they enjoyed watching short concept videos to prepare for in-class, case-based discussions of BCC, SCC, and melanoma.

By illustrating histological-clinical correlations and reducing cognitive load of the material through use of cartoons and prototypical clinical images, this video module is an accessible initial resource for an emerging generation of millennial health care professionals to learn about common skin cancers.

Educational Objectives
By the end of this module, learners will be able to:

1. Describe how squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma are classified.

2. Understand the relationship between hallmark histological and clinical features for SCC, BCC, and melanoma.

3. Describe key histological differences between nevi and melanoma.

4. Identify clinical ABCDE: asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation, diameter greater than 6 mm, and evolution features of dysplastic nevi and melanoma that make them distinct from benign nevi.

5. Describe the four main subtypes of melanoma: superficial, nodular, lentigo maligna, and acral.

6. Describe the three main subtypes of benign nevi: junctional, compound, and dermal.

Welcome back to How To Medicate, and welcome to this video where we cover everything you need to know to check yourself for skin cancer: Most importantly what types of skin cancer are there and how can you recognise them?

This video is part of a video series on your skin. We will cover all kinds of skin related problems and drugs. So for more skin related videos check out this playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/playli....st?list=PLaG3Bo3L0gX

There are 3 main types of skin cancer:
- Basal cell carcinoma
- Squamous cell carcinoma
- melanoma

Basal cell carcinoma:
This is the most common type of skin cancer, but luckily the least dangerous form. It grows slowly and spreads rarely. This make it easier to treat and improves treatment outcomes.
Basel cell carcinomas usually grow at areas of your skin which where heavily exposed to sun rays.

Squamous cell carcinoma:
They are rarer and grow slower. They usually develops over several months, but are more likely to spread to distant areas. Making squamous cell carcinomas more deathly. However if you recognise it early, your chances improve vastly and the prognosis is usually good!

Melanoma:
The most dangerous type of skin cancer. A melanoma develops in pigment producing cells called melanocytes. It can grow quickly and spread early. If undetected (and untreated) a melanoma can be deathly within just just a few months.
To recognise a melanoma it is important that you know how a normal mole looks like.

Moles:
Also called nevus or nevus-cells are a type of benign, so non-cancerous, tumors. Nevus-cells are a type of skin cell containing a lot of pigment. This explains why moles are brown of black. Moles come in various size and characteristics. If your mole changes in appearance, than you should contact your doctor.

ABCDEF:
You could also use this acronym to check for early signs of a melanoma.
Asymmetry, Borders, Colour, Diameter, Evolving and Funny looking.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer to affect the human body. They oftentimes appear in sun exposed areas, like the face and the ears. Diagnosing basal cell carcinoma without a biopsy can be difficult. A bump that looks a little pearly, a bump that has blood vessels growing on it, or a bump that easily bleeds are all signs and symptoms of basal cell carcinoma. Only a biopsy can give you a definitive answer as to whether you have basal cell carcinoma or not, so if you have a suspicious lesion, see a dermatologist for a biopsy.

Skin cancer is a condition in which the cells in the skin grow abnormally and uncontrollably, leading to the formation of a cancerous growth. There are several different types of skin cancer, but the most common types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Here is some information on the appearance, symptoms, and types of skin cancer:

Basal Cell Carcinoma:

Appearance: Raised, shiny, and pink or red-colored growths that may have a pearly or waxy appearance. They may have visible blood vessels on the surface, and may bleed or develop a crusty surface.
Symptoms: Usually painless, but may be itchy, may bleed easily, and may not heal. They may grow slowly over time and can spread to nearby tissues if left untreated.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma:

Appearance: Firm, raised growths or sores that may have a scaly or crusty appearance. They may be pink or red-colored, and may have an ulcerated or bleeding surface.
Symptoms: Usually painless, but may be itchy, may bleed easily, and may not heal. They may grow rapidly and can spread to nearby tissues if left untreated.
Melanoma:

Appearance: Irregularly shaped moles or growths that may be black, brown, or multicolored. They may be flat or raised, and may have an uneven or jagged border. They may also have different shades of color, or a dark spot in the center.
Symptoms: They may itch or bleed, and may change in size, shape, or color over time. They can spread quickly to other parts of the body, making early detection and treatment important.
Other symptoms that may indicate skin cancer include persistent itchiness, pain, or tenderness in a specific area of the skin, as well as the appearance of new growths or changes in existing ones.

It is important to regularly check your skin for any new or changing growths, and to seek medical attention if you notice anything unusual. Early detection and treatment of skin cancer can increase the chances of successful treatment and reduce the risk of complications.

Basal Cell Carcinoma- Putting your Best Face Forward
Basal Cell Carcinoma- Putting your Best Face Forward administrator 0 Views • 2 years ago

We winterize our wardrobes, we protect our plants and animals from the cold, but many times we're forgetting what's right under our noses - the potential for skin cancer, even in the winter.

"Basil cell carcinoma is a very common type of skin cancer. Here in Florida, of course, where it's one of the world capitals of skin cancer," says Dr. Lowell Hart, oncologist/ hematologist on Lee Memorial Health System's medical staff.

Between 40-50% of American's who live to age 65 will have basil cell carcinoma at least once.

"Most people get them in middle age or above. Where they have had skin exposure, the face, the chest, the arms - those sort of area there," says Dr. Hart.

2.8 million people are diagnosed with basal cell each year in this country. While it's rarely fatal, the lesions can be highly disfiguring.
"It can be close to the eye, close to the ear, close to the nose, which requires a very large circumcision to remove it," says Dr. Hart.

Seventy percent of basal cell cancers occur on the head, most commonly our nose. Keeping yourself covered or protected by with a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 15 or higher is your first line of defense. The next is recognizing the trouble spots.

"Sometimes they are flatter and discolored they don't tend to be things that look like moles. Any area that is not healing, that looks discolored at all should probably get checked by a dermatologist," says Dr. Hart.

Your dermatologist handles routine treatments that may include freezing or burning the cancer. Leaving them unchecked can lead to deeper problems.
"Although they have a very small risk of metastasizing, which means moving to another part of the body. They can get invasive and they can get deeper and bigger," says Dr. Hart.

So even in the winter months, it's important to take precautions. So you don't get burned.
