How has technology assisted in the prevention of Skin Cancer?



Thanks heaps ;-)

Technology has assisted in the prevention of skin cancer in a number of ways:

(1) Improved understanding of the causes of skin cancer
- particularly childhood sun exposure and particularly sun-burn damage

(2) Increased public awareness of skin cancer as a health issue
- "slip slop slap" campaign in Australia urging the public to slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat
- patients presenting to doctors earlier allowing earlier diagnoses

(3) Better sun protection technology
- Improved sun screens - now SPF 30+ and I have seen some claiming to be SPF 60+ ... also make up with incorporated sun screen
- sun protective clothing

(4) Better early detection
- Local Doctor awareness, skin lesion surveillance
- Dermatoscopy
- Improved early referral and definitive treatment (surgical excision) Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/skin_cancer...

Technology has assisted in the prevention of skin cancer, in the sense that since the start and discovery of technoloy, we are now have a better preception on what skin cancer looks like, are able to study skin cancer via of micro scopic technological computerize techniques, which has given us a wide open window range to precieve the skin cancer, and how skin cancer forms growth upon each cell producing the skin cancer. . So now we know what is the cause of skin cancer, and are able to proceed on to better measures to prevent skin can cancer, with either alternative medicine, or prescription, or computerized methods of medicines of today.
I once back in 1984 had a severe discoloring on my skin all over my body, which my doctor prescribed nizoral prescription medications, along with selsun blue shampoo, to eliminate and smooth out the the discoloration. I found nizoral medication to be an extreamly productive medicine, The prescription medicine nizoral had my skin perfect with a glow, however, Dr. Won Dizon, suggest not to over use nizoral medication, for the glowing purposes, because the the immuned system within the body can become overly ammune where the purpose of this medication will no longer be affective, due to the development of the medication to the immune system.
