Skin cancer risk factors among primary school children: Investigations in Western Hungary

Evaluation of The Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer and its Impacts on The Prevention Habits in a Specific Population of Southeastern Brazil

“…Apparently, the diagnosis of NMSC and the fact that these patients had undergone surgical excision of the lesions did not affect the adoption of preventive measures and/or changes in sun exposure habits, contradicting reports from other studies (10). Programs for the adoption of preventive measures against sun exposure should be promoted primarily during childhood and adolescence because during these phases they are more effective and of easier assimilation (31,33). Our study was limited to a specific selected demographic population, with predominance of fair-skinned individuals and it can not be extrapolated to more diversified populations regarding other photo-types.…”

“…The incidence is 0.6% in men and mortality rate is 0.4%, while these rates are 1.0% and 0.7% in women (Globocan 2008). There is a risk of skin cancer for everyone; however, people with light skin, multiple moles and stains, overexposure to sun and history of sunburn are under higher risk of skin cancer (Baum and Cohen 1998;Cokkinides et al, 2002;Emmons et al, 2008;Feher et al, 2010;Heckman and Coups 2011). Due to the strong relationship between sunburns in childhood and skin cancer, 80% of all skin cancer cases can be prevented with suitable protective measures (Boyett et al, 2002;Baz et al, 2003;Balk, 2011).…”

“…Maguire-Eisen et al (2005) reported that less than one third of children regularly use sun protection cream, hat and sunglasses and they also do not avoid staying under sun at noon hours (Maguire-Eisen et al, 2005). In the study of Feher et al (2010), it was determined that children between 5 and 12 years of age have higher rates of sun protection applications. And it is reported that 90% of children use sun cream, 75% wear protective clothes, 63% wear hat, and 50% use sunglasses (Feher et al, 2010).…”
