ЕУРОМЕЛАНОМА 2022
ЕВРОПСКА КАМПАЊА ЗА РАНО ОТКРИВАЊЕ НА РАКОТ НА КОЖАТА
После 2 годишна пауза поради пандемиата со Covid-19, како дел од големото семејство на Еуромеланома, оваа година повторно се вклучуваме во единствената пан-европска, хуманитарна, превентивна скрининг кампања за рано откривање на меланом и другите кожни карциноми, со единствена цел - информирање и подигнување на јавната свест за борба против карциномите на кожата како потенцијално излечиви, под мотото:
Ракот на кожата е поврзан со зголеменото изложување на сонце во текот на животот!
По повод одбележувањето на превентивната кампања ЕУРОМЕЛАНОМА 2022 како дерматолози чувствуваме заедничка должност и обврска да го потсетиме нашето население за неопходноста на секојдневната фотозаштита на кожата, како и исклучително важните редовни самопрегледи и дермоскопски прегледи во дерматолошките ординации во нашата држава.
Целта на кампањата е:

Preventing skin cancer
Skin cancer is one of the world’s most common cancers. The good news is that it is usually treatable if detected early - and there are things we can do to prevent it.
Always be sunsafe
Avoid unnecessary exposure.
Seek shade where possible, and avoid the summer sun during the middle of the day.
Wear protective clothing
Include dark colours, long sleeves, a widebrimmed hat and UV-rated sunglasses.
For children, look for clothing with inbuilt sun protection.
Apply sunscreen
Check that yours has a high protection factor against both UVA and UVB rays. Remember that sunscreen takes effect around half an hour after its application and only lasts for two to three hours.
Protect children
Children are at the greatest risk of long-term health issues related to unsafe sun exposure.
Outside play is important, but you should never let a child get sunburnt.
What to look for
Check your skin once a month for spots that:
• Change size, colour and/or shape
• Appear different to the rest (the ‘Ugly Duckling’ sign)
• Are asymmetric or have uneven borders
• Feel rough or scaly (sometimes you can feel lesions before you can see them)
• Are multi-coloured
• Are itchy
• Are bleeding or oozing
• Look pearly
• Look like a wound but do not heal
If you see two or more of these warning signs, don’t delay. Visit your doctor immediately.
