ABCDE سرطان پوست
سرطان پوست, which includes melanoma, basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, is the most common cancer diagnosis in the U.S. and is one of the most preventable cancers.
Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer and can often present as a suspicious mole. It’s important to check your skin for suspicious moles once a month using the ABCDE rule and report anything unusual to your health care provider. It’s also a good idea to have a health care provider examine your skin every year.
The ABCDE rule:
آتقارن
نیمی از خال با دیگری مطابقت ندارد
ببی نظمی سفارش
The mole is uneven in shape with jagged, notched or blurred edges
سیolor
The mole is not consistent in color
دیiameter
قطر خال بیش از 6 میلی متر (تقریباً به اندازه یک مداد پاک کن) است.
Evolving
هر گونه تغییر در اندازه، شکل، رنگ یا ارتفاع یا خال وجود دارد، یا علائم جدیدی را تجربه می کنید (مانند خونریزی، خارش یا پوسته پوسته شدن)

If you have a darker skin tone
Skin cancer can be harder to identify on darker skin tones as compared to on light or fair skin tones. If you have darker skin, it’s a good idea to have your skin checks done by a health care provider, like a dermatologist, who is experienced in identifying skin cancer on all skin tones and knows what to look for.
