La mayor\u00eda de los c\u00e1nceres de piel se pueden prevenir y, si se detectan a tiempo, suelen ser muy tratables.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl c\u00e1ncer de piel es uno de los pocos c\u00e1nceres que podemos ver con nuestros propios ojos, lo que nos da una gran ventaja en cuanto a la detecci\u00f3n y el tratamiento tempranos\u201d, afirma la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/naomi-lawrence-md\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Naomi Lawrence, MD<\/span><\/a>, cirujana dermat\u00f3loga y jefa de la Secci\u00f3n de Dermatolog\u00eda de Procedimientos de la Divisi\u00f3n de Dermatolog\u00eda de <span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a><\/span>. \u201cLa prevenci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer de piel es importante a cualquier edad. Ya sea que est\u00e9 empezando a proteger su piel o que lleve a\u00f1os protegi\u00e9ndose del sol, nunca es tarde para adoptar h\u00e1bitos saludables\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tipos de c\u00e1ncer de piel y c\u00f3mo detectarlos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Los rayos ultravioleta (UV) del sol son los principales responsables del c\u00e1ncer de piel. Ya sea que est\u00e9s haciendo jardiner\u00eda, paseando al perro o relaj\u00e1ndote junto a la piscina, la sobreexposici\u00f3n, especialmente si provoca quemaduras solares, puede da\u00f1ar las c\u00e9lulas cut\u00e1neas y provocar mutaciones que podr\u00edan causar c\u00e1ncer.<\/p>\n<p>Existen tres tipos principales de c\u00e1ncer de piel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Carcinoma basocelular (CCB):<\/strong> La forma m\u00e1s com\u00fan; a menudo aparece como una protuberancia de color carne o una mancha rosada.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carcinoma de c\u00e9lulas escamosas (CCE):<\/strong> Puede verse como una mancha roja y escamosa o una llaga que no cicatriza.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Melanoma:<\/strong> El tipo m\u00e1s peligroso, que a menudo se desarrolla a partir de lunares existentes o como nuevas manchas oscuras en la piel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cEs importante entender que el CCB y el CCE no se convierten en melanoma; son tipos distintos de c\u00e1ncer de piel que surgen de diferentes tipos de c\u00e9lulas cut\u00e1neas\u201d, afirma el Dr. Lawrence. \u201cPor eso son tan importantes los controles cut\u00e1neos peri\u00f3dicos realizados por un dermat\u00f3logo: ayudan a detectar todos los tipos de c\u00e1ncer de piel de forma temprana, cuando son m\u00e1s tratables\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El ABCDE del Melanoma<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s de los ex\u00e1menes profesionales de la piel, las autoevaluaciones mensuales pueden ser de gran ayuda para la detecci\u00f3n temprana.<\/p>\n<p>Presta atenci\u00f3n a estas se\u00f1ales de advertencia al revisar tus lunares y manchas en la piel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A<\/strong>simetr\u00eda: Una mitad no coincide con la otra.<\/li>\n<li><strong>B<\/strong>orde: Los bordes son irregulares o borrosos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>C<\/strong>olor: Var\u00eda en tonos o tiene m\u00faltiples colores.<\/li>\n<li><strong>D<\/strong>i\u00e1metro: M\u00e1s grande que una goma de borrar de l\u00e1piz (0,6 cm).<\/li>\n<li><strong>E<\/strong>voluci\u00f3n: Cambia de tama\u00f1o, forma, color o textura.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>La prevenci\u00f3n empieza con la protecci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proteger la piel es un h\u00e1bito diario, haga sol o llueva, e incluso peque\u00f1os pasos pueden reducir significativamente el riesgo de c\u00e1ncer de piel con el tiempo.<\/p>\n<p>Y s\u00ed, las personas con tonos de piel m\u00e1s oscuros tambi\u00e9n necesitan protecci\u00f3n. Si bien la melanina ofrece cierta defensa natural contra los rayos UV, no te hace inmune. El c\u00e1ncer de piel a\u00fan puede aparecer, y a menudo se diagnostica en una etapa m\u00e1s tard\u00eda y peligrosa en personas con piel m\u00e1s oscura.<\/p>\n<p>Aqu\u00ed tienes algunos consejos clave para protegerte del sol:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Usa protector solar de amplio espectro (UVA\/UVB)<\/strong> con FPS 30 o superior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apl\u00edcalo 15 minutos antes de salir al aire libre<\/strong> y reapl\u00edcalo cada dos horas, o despu\u00e9s de nadar o sudar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cubre todas las zonas expuestas<\/strong>, incluyendo las zonas que se pasan por alto f\u00e1cilmente, como las orejas, el empeine y el cuero cabelludo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00a1No olvides los labios!<\/strong> Usa un b\u00e1lsamo con FPS. Evite las camas solares: no son m\u00e1s seguras que el sol y pueden ser incluso m\u00e1s da\u00f1inas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use ropa protectora<\/strong>, sombreros de ala ancha y gafas de sol.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Busque la sombra<\/strong>, especialmente entre las 10 a. m. y las 4 p. m., cuando los rayos UV son m\u00e1s intensos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cHay muchos protectores solares en el mercado, y es posible que note que algunos est\u00e1n etiquetados como minerales y otros como qu\u00edmicos. Ambos son efectivos si se usan correctamente\u201d, dice el Dr. Lawrence. \u201cSi tiene piel sensible, un protector solar mineral puede ser la mejor opci\u00f3n. Pero, en definitiva, el mejor protector solar es el que se usa de forma constante\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No ignore esa mancha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No todos los lunares o cambios en la piel significan c\u00e1ncer, pero si algo no se ve o se siente bien, no espere: h\u00e1gase una revisi\u00f3n. Las llagas persistentes, los lunares que cambian o los nuevos crecimientos inusuales deben ser evaluados por un profesional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa \u00fanica manera de saber con certeza si una lesi\u00f3n es cancerosa es mediante una biopsia de piel\u201d, dice el Dr. Lawrence. \u201cEste es un procedimiento sencillo que generalmente se puede realizar en el consultorio\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opciones de tratamiento avanzadas disponibles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las tasas de mortalidad por melanoma han disminuido significativamente en la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada gracias a avances revolucionarios en el tratamiento.<\/p>\n<p>El MD Anderson Cancer Center en Cooper se enorgullece de estar a la vanguardia de este progreso. Fuimos el primer centro oncol\u00f3gico en la regi\u00f3n de Filadelfia-Sur de Nueva Jersey en ofrecer terapia de linfocitos infiltrantes de tumores (TIL), una inmunoterapia personalizada aprobada por la FDA para el melanoma avanzado.<\/p>\n<p>La terapia TIL refuerza las c\u00e9lulas inmunitarias del paciente para combatir el c\u00e1ncer y ha demostrado resultados duraderos, incluso en pacientes que no respondieron a otros tratamientos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Priorice la salud de su piel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Disfrute del sol de verano de forma segura protegiendo su piel, revis\u00e1ndola regularmente y consultando a un m\u00e9dico cuando lo necesite.
