A team of computer scientists from the Stanford University has created a powerful artificially intelligent diagnosis algorithm that could detect dangerous skin lesions just like a seasoned dermatologist.
The risk of melanoma increases by 14 percent when the participants drink at least one serving of white wine per day.
A new study suggests that visual screenings for skin cancer do not offer enough evidence in preventing cancer-related deaths.
For the first time, scientists have found a conclusive link between the "red hair" gene variant and a high mutational burden - which in this case, means a high number of mutagenic processes associated with skin cancer.
One of the most deadly type of cancer is melanoma or skin cancer. This type of skin cancer can be triggered by the ultraviolet rays from the sun. But researchers say we shouldn't undermine the power of sunscreen. A recent study revealed that genetically engineered mice protected by sunscreen was less likely to develop burns and melanoma.
When we think of skin cancer, sunlight usually comes to mind. But an interesting new study reveals that skin damage is possible even in the dark, leaving no place safe.
New research has shown that common ingredients in sunscreens can become toxic after washing off in the ocean, threatening essential marine and harming ecosystems as a whole. These same toxins could be seeping into users' skin, causing some to worry that this tool of cancer prevention is actually raising their risk.
Consistent use of sunscreen during childhood and infancy, according to a new study, is essential to preventing melanoma in adulthood.
In an effort to decrease the number of skin cancer cases, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strengthened its regulation of tanning beds, requiring a visible warning against their use in people under the age of 18.
Sunshine may help reduce blood pressure and cut the risk of both heart attacks and strokes, according to a study by researchers at the University of Edinburgh.
