題目係......Skin Cancer in Australia
There are many health problems over the world which cannot be cured and cancer may be one of the most serious health problems. It causes many human deaths every year because it can be cured only if it is identified early, otherwise most, if not all, cancer patients may die. Skin cancer is a very common cancer for Western people especially Australian. More than 1300 Australians die from it per year and skin cancer occupies 80 per cent of the new cancer cases (Skin Cancer overview 2004). In addition, the number of melanoma’s patients increased due to two-fold in South Australia between 1992 and 1996 (Roder 2002, p.11). To understand why the skin cancer rate in Australia is so high, it is necessary to understand what skin cancer is and how it is caused. Skin cancer not only causes a host of health problems but also affects the patient’s family and loved ones. Because of the serious consequences of skin cancer, the Australian government and other organizations have conducted various campaigns to educate the public about preventing skin cancer.
Skin cancer is one type of cancer where mutant cells grow on or under the skin’s surface. Basically, there are three main types of skin cancer: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and Malignant melanom. BCC is the most common skin cancer in the world. Additionally, it is also the least dangerous form of skin cancer which is rarely fatal (Type of skin cancer 2004) because the growth and invasion of BCC is very slow and local. The lesion of BCC usually grows on the face or upper extremities. It causes an area of raised skin and its appearance is a tissue with a pearly texture which shines in the light. Additionally, it has some small blood vessels in it (McClay, McClay and Smith 2004). SCC is 95 per cent curable if it is diagnosed early, but it is still a potentially lethal condition left untreated. It usually grows on skin surfaces where have been exposed to the sun and its lesion is thickened, red, pale and pearly in colour. At the beginning, the character of the SCC’s lesion are hard, crusting and commonly has a central ulcer (McClay, McClay and Smith 2004). Melanoma is the skin cancer which is most often leads to death. It is different from BCC and SCC because it finds a way to spread to other parts of the body very quickly; this ability is caused by the high metastasize power which means melanoma causing massive destruction on the skin. The melanoma’s pigment is usually a shade of brown or black, while 10 per cent of patients’ melanomas are flesh colour (McClay, McClay and Smith 2004). In addition, melanomas cancer is most serious in Queensland because of its northerly location (Roder 2002, p.7).
The major cause of skin cancer is solar radiation (National Health and Medical Research Council 2002). When humans are overexposed to Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or other sources such as solariums and UV lamp, it causes a change in genes. This change usually occurs in the patient’s lifetime; only some of them inherit a changed gene from a parent (Causes of skin cancer 2004). In fact, there are three types of UV radiation: UVA, UVB and UVC while UVC is the strongest, UVA is the weakest. Fortunately, most UVC is absorbed by the ozone layer. UV radiation breaks the DNA chain, which has four different nucleic acids, in an abnormal fashion. Therefore, protein becomes inactive and the new DNA causes the other normal cells to die. As a result, cancer is formed. Moreover, caucasians are more at risk of skin cancer, including those with pale skin, red or golden hair, blue, green or grey eyes, sensitivity to UV radiation and tendency to freckle or form pigmented moles (McClay, McClay and Smith 2004, p.18), living in Australia, working outdoors for a long period of time and using solariums, sunlamp or sunbeds (Causes of skin cancer 2004). It is because individuals absorb more UV radiation per unit time (McClay, McClay and Smith 2004) or have been exposed for more time under the sun.
Just like other cancer, skin cancer can also have some serious effects on human. Compared with melanoma, BCC and SCC are much easier to cure. Because they grow locally on the horizontal surface of skin, they cannot affect other parts of the body. However, it is still lethal if treated too late. In contrast, melanoma, which is much more dangerous, can spread along the surface of skin and the growth of the cancer is not only horizontal but also in a vertical phase. Therefore, it can obtain access to blood and lymphatic vessels traveling to other parts of body and invade normal tissues destroying them by infiltrating and replacing them. In addition, the skin cancer causes complex emotion on the patient and affects their life style (Relationship and Cancer 2004). For example, they may lose their job, money and time for the treatment on cancer.
It is not only very hard for a patient to believe that they have a skin cancer but also very difficult for their family and their loved ones. For the mental side, the psychological sufferings of this group people cannot be imagined. The family swells the stress because the responsibility is added on the patient’s family members especially for the patient who is the pillar of the family (Relationship and Cancer 2004). For the physical side, there is no evidence to prove that melanoma can be passed through close or sexual contact and pregnancy causes the development of melanoma get worse. However, physicians recommend that avoiding pregnancy for two years after being diagnosed with a melanoma as it will increase the opportunity of the melanoma returning (McClay, McClay and Smith 2004).
Because of the high rate of skin cancer in Australia, there are some campaigns organized to encourage Australians to care about skin cancer and learn about how to prevent it. The first campaign launched in 1980 was called Slip! Slop! Slap! (McClay, McClay and Smith 2004). The idea of this name is slipping on a shirt, slopping on sun screen and slapping on a hat (Redlands Branch Cancer Fund 2000). It also promotes that exposure to the sun when young increase the risk of skin cancer (Information of skin cancer in Australia 2004) and consisted of television advertisements (SunSmart overview 2004). In 1988, Slip! Slop! Slap! Campaign was replaced by “SunSmart” Campaign organized by Cancer Council Victoria. It became the international skin cancer prevention program and is now recognized by 80 per cent of Victorians. The purpose of this program is to encourage people to adapt their behaviour and attitudes towards sun protection, their lifestyles and environment that minimizes the risk of skin cancer and attend for the treatment of skin cancer as soon as possible (SunSmart overview2004).
In conclusion, Australian has a high rate of skin cancer because of high UV radiation levels. Skin cancer can be very dangerous especially the malignant melanoma. Therefore, Australia has organized many of campaigns such as Slip! Slop! Slap! to promote how important preventing skin cancer is. In fact, it is not fair for Australia to have a high skin cancer rate. Compared to other countries, Australia produces much less pollution. However, because of the turning moment of the Earth, most of the air’s pollutant is transferred to the southern part of the Earth; otherwise the ozone layer above Australia might become too thin to absorb UV radiation. Even though it is not fair for Australians, they also need to face to this problem. The most important way to cure skin cancer is prevention. If skin cancer is discovered early, it can be cured more easily.
