\"\"A pesar del descenso en las tasas de algunos tipos de c\u00e1ncer, un estudio de la Cl\u00ednica Mayo, en Estados Unidos, observa una alarmante tendencia: el dr\u00e1stico aumento del c\u00e1ncer de piel, especialmente entre las personas menores de 40 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan el estudio publicado en la edici\u00f3n de abril de Mayo Clinic Proceedings, la incidencia del melanoma ha aumentado, siendo las mujeres j\u00f3venes las m\u00e1s afectadas. <\/p>\n

\u201cSeg\u00fan lo planteado por otros estudios, anticip\u00e1bamos encontrar tasas crecientes; pero descubrimos una incidencia todav\u00eda mayor a la informada por el Instituto Nacional del C\u00e1ncer en la \u2018Base de Datos sobre Vigilancia, Epidemiolog\u00eda y Resultado Final\u2019, especialmente un aumento dr\u00e1stico entre las mujeres de 20 a 30 a\u00f1os de edad\u201d, comenta el investigador principal de la Cl\u00ednica Mayo, el Dr. Jerry Brewer, dermat\u00f3logo.<\/p>\n

Los cient\u00edficos realizaron un estudio poblacional con base en los informes del Proyecto Epidemiol\u00f3gico de Rochester, que compar\u00f3 los diagn\u00f3sticos que, durante 10 a\u00f1os se registraron sobre los pacientes del condado de Olmsted en Minnesota. Se buscaron los diagn\u00f3sticos iniciales de melanoma en pacientes de 18 a 39 a\u00f1os, ocurridos entre 1970 y 2009 y se descubri\u00f3 que la incidencia del melanoma aument\u00f3 ocho veces entre las mujeres y cuatro veces entre los hombres m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes.<\/p>\n

El riesgo que una persona corre durante toda su vida de contraer melanoma es mayor en los hombres que en las mujeres, pero ocurre exactamente lo opuesto entre los j\u00f3venes y adolescentes. Los expertos descubrieron tambi\u00e9n que las tasas de mortalidad disminuyeron con el transcurso de los a\u00f1os, debido a la pronta detecci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer de piel y a la oportuna atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/p>\n

Los investigadores especulan que los principales culpables del aumento en la tasa del c\u00e1ncer entre las mujeres j\u00f3venes son las camas de bronceado, as\u00ed que se sugiere no usarlas o usarlas lo menos posible.<\/p>\n

Medical: Melanoma cases rising among young people<\/p>\n

But diagnosis of melanoma has been on the rise at a younger age. One new study suggests an alarming surge in melanoma among people in their 20s and 30s, particularly among women. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., studied records of people in surrounding Olmstead County from 1970 through 2009, looking for first-time diagnosis of melanoma \u2014 the deadliest form of skin cancer \u2014 in patients ages 18 to 39. They found 16 diagnoses of the cancer in the 1970s, 44 in the \u201880s, 67 in the \u201890s and 129 in the final decade. <\/p>\n

Among women, the rate shot up eightfold, from 5.4 to 43.5 cases per 100,000 residents. The researchers, who published their findings in the April Mayo Clinic Proceedings, noted that the rates they found in Olmstead County were markedly higher than those seen in national cancer-surveillance surveys, particularly for women. They said it\u2019s likely that the sharp increase is due to increased use of tanning beds by young women from their teens into middle age, and more sun exposure and sunburns among young people in general. <\/p>\n

They also note that young people may be paying closer attention to changes in their skin and asking health professionals about them. When tumors are detected early, before they\u2019ve penetrated deep into the skin, the survival rate from melanoma is 99 percent, versus 15 percent with deep tumors. Over a lifetime, melanoma risk is still higher among men than women, and most melanomas are diagnosed in white men over age 50. <\/p>\n

Higher exposure comes with age \u2014 27 percent in the 40s and 50s, and the rest from age 60 on. Despite ongoing efforts to discourage tanning-bed use by young adults and foster sun-safety practices from an early age, melanoma is the most common form of cancer among people in their late 20s. Researchers continue to look for ways to communicate the danger. One approach may be to show preteens their future risk for skin cancer via a UV photo. A team at the University of Colorado demonstrated the technique in a study published in mid-March by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
