ABCDE du cancer de la peau
Cancer de la peau, 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:
UNsymétrie
Une moitié du grain de beauté ne correspond pas à l'autre
Birrégularité de commande
The mole is uneven in shape with jagged, notched or blurred edges
Color
The mole is not consistent in color
Diameter
Le grain de beauté a un diamètre supérieur à 6 mm (environ la taille d'une gomme à crayon)
Evolving
Il y a un changement dans la taille, la forme, la couleur ou l'élévation du grain de beauté, ou vous ressentez de nouveaux symptômes (tels que des saignements, des démangeaisons ou des croûtes).

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.
