Does Sunscreen Increase Or Decrease Melanoma Risk? - Cancer HealthLINK - Yale-Ne
This YaleNew Haven HealthLINK (August 2002) focuses on whether using sunscreen can help prevent the development of melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer.
http://www.ynhh.org/healthlink/cancer/cancer_8_02.html

Extractions: Does sunscreen increase or decrease melanoma risk? Can using sunscreen help prevent melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer? Conversely, does using sunscreen increase the risk of developing melanoma? That's the controversy researchers across the country have been attempting to resolve. It is an urgent matter: in Western countries in particular, melanoma is increasing faster than any other cancer. In the U.S., the number of new cases of melanoma has more than doubled in the past 20 years. Martin Weinstock, MD, who works in the dermatoepidemiology unit of the VA Medical Center in Providence, has been studying the relationship for years. In 1999, he published an article in the

Handbook Of Ocular Disease Management - CHOROIDAL MELANOMA
CHOROIDAL melanoma Malignant Choroidal melanoma. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY A choroidal melanoma represents a focal accumulation of melanocytes at the level of the uvea.
http://www.revoptom.com/handbook/sect5j.htm

Extractions: The benign choroidal melanoma, referred to clinically as a choroidal nevus, appears as a flat or slightly elevated slate gray lesion of the posterior fundus. The margins are typically indistinct, and often there are overlying areas of drusen noted within the nevus. In most instances, choroidal nevi remain under two disc diameters (DD) in size, although they may attain sizes of up to 5 DD in some cases. The malignant choroidal melanoma, in contrast, appears as a mottled, often significantly elevated lesion, ranging in coloration from white to greenish-gray. As it grows, it may break through Bruch's membrane, taking on a mushroom-like appearance. Serous retinal detachments are commonly associated with this presentation. You may also observe overlying orange pigmentation known as lipofuscin. Most malignant melanomas are over 10 DD in size at the time of diagnosis. Most patients with choroidal melanomas are asymptomatic. However, should a significantly large lesion occur in proximity to the macula, the patient may present with metamorphopsia, acuity loss, visual field deficit and/or a hyperopic refractive shift. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY A choroidal melanoma represents a focal accumulation of melanocytes at the level of the uvea. In a choroidal nevus, these melanocytes are normal in both form and function. In malignant melanoma, the cells undergo neoplasia, reproducing at a faster rate than usual and resulting in a dysfunctional tumor mass. This tumor is capable of not only local extension but also of distant metastasis. While choroidal nevi do not typically lead to this type of damage, it is believed that they can convert to malignancy; the rate of malignant transformation over a 10-year period is estimated at 21 in 100,000.

Extractions: About PDQ Melanoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the skin cells called melanocytes (cells that color the skin). Melanocytes are found throughout the lower part of the epidermis . They produce melanin , the pigment that gives skin its natural color. When skin is exposed to the sun, melanocytes produce more pigment, causing the skin to tan, or darken. The skin is the bodyâs largest organ . It protects against heat, sunlight, injury, and infection . The skin has 2 main layers: the epidermis (upper or outer layer) and the dermis (lower or inner layer). When melanoma starts in the skin, the disease is called cutaneous melanoma. This PDQ summary is about cutaneous (skin) melanoma. Melanoma may also occur in the eye and is called intraocular or ocular melanoma. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Intraocular (Eye) Melanoma Treatment for more information.)

Extractions: More Information Melanoma of the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, and choroid), although rare, is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. The mean age-adjusted incidence of uveal melanoma in the United States is approximately 4.3 new cases per million population. [ ] The age-adjusted incidence of this cancer has remained stable for the past 25 years. The median age at diagnosis ranges from 55 to 62 years. Several factors likely play a role in the development of uveal melanoma. Host characteristics, such as light pigmentation (skin, hair, eye color) and genetic factors, as well as environmental exposures (sunlight, chemical), have been associated with increased risk in some studies. [ Melanomas can arise in the anterior uveal tract (iris) or the posterior uveal tract (ciliary body or choroid). Iris melanomas have the best prognosis, whereas melanomas of the ciliary body have the worst. Most uveal tract melanomas originate in the choroid. The ciliary body is less commonly a site of origin, and the iris is the least common. The comparatively low incidence of this tumor in the iris has been attributed to the characteristic features of iris melanomas, i.e., they tend to be small, slow growing, and relatively dormant in comparison with their posterior counterparts. Iris melanomas rarely metastasize. [

Extractions: You can support Cancer Research! Find out more. Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It begins from a skin cell called a melanocyte. Melanocytes are normally located throughout the skin and produce melan pigment. Melan pigment is produced by these cells when exposed to sunlight as part of the tanning process. Regular moles contain groups of melanocytes. Melanoma begins when an individual melanocyte loses its ability to regulate its own growth, like a copy machine with a broken counting mechanism that continues to make copies even when you keep pushing the stop button. With time the melanoma grows. The earlier you find it and the thinner it is, the better the chance of complete cure. How common is melanoma?

http://www.cancerresearch.org/melanomabook.html

Extractions: The most dangerous form of skin cancer, melanoma begins in a type of skin cell called a melanocyte. Melanocytes produce the skin pigment known as melanin, which is responsible for our natural skin color. When exposed to sunlight, these skin cells produce large amounts of melanin as part of the tanning process, helping to protect the skin from burning. Pigmented markings of the skin are known as moles, which are groups of melanocytes in the skin. while moles are generally harmless, they can become cancerous. Although melanoma accounts for only about 4 percent of all skin cancer cases, it is the leading cause of all skin cancer-related deaths. In the United States, the rise in the number of people with melanoma is second only to lung cancer in women. The lifetime risk of developing melanoma has risen and continues to rise. The main cause of melanoma is thought to be the sun, through exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. People with fair skin and who tend to sunburn easily especially those with red or blond hair may be at greatest risk because their skin cells have less melanin. Since melanoma is caused by the sun, it makes sense that people should try to avoid or protect themselves from the sun's harmful rays. This is especially important between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest. Protect yourself by wearing wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Whenever you are outdoors for an extended period, us a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher on all exposed skin even in the winter and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions.
