Until recently, doctors believed that skin cancer most often affects women, especially those who are attached to a solarium and real sunbathing.
However, in recent decades, skin cancer has become increasingly common in men. British oncologists came to this conclusion after analyzing the data for the last three decades.
If, according to the data of the 1970s, an average of 400 people out of 100,000 men died from skin cancer, that is, about 1.5%, then at the beginning of the 21st century, for the same 100,000 men, deaths for this reason became more than 1,100, that is, 3.1%. In addition, the indicators of male mortality from skin cancer exceeded female – in women, this indicator is on average 2.2%. Doctors see the reason for the high mortality of men from this disease in the fact that men are less likely to go to doctors at the first stage of the disease. Moreover, since skin cancer is traditionally considered a "female" problem, even if there are obvious symptoms of the disease, men prefer to "wait it out". Thus, they turn to doctors already when the disease is sufficiently neglected for the treatment to bring the necessary results.
Doctors urge Britons to monitor their own health more closely and not to neglect annual checkups, including oncologists.
Skin cancer in women causes more consequences
American researchers have studied the issue of the volume of consequences in patients who have had skin cancer. Studies have shown that women experience malignant tumors on the skin much harder than men, and after the end of treatment they often suffer from various consequences, both physical and psychological.
The study involved patients whose remission period did not exceed 10 years. After conducting a laboratory examination and a questionnaire, the scientists analyzed the impact of the transferred disease on the quality of life afterwards.
The study showed that it was women who more often complained about the deterioration of the quality of life – both the physical and psychological consequences, and the deterioration of social and living conditions. Thus, women were more often diagnosed with ischemic disease, although it was not possible to identify a direct link between oncological diseases and diseases of the cardiovascular system. In addition, it was women who more often suffered from various psychological disorders and depressive states. The researchers explained this as follows: a woman, to a greater extent than a man, needs further rehabilitation, including psychological. In addition, those patients who did not receive proper support from family members and close acquaintances had the most consequences after undergoing melanoma.
