Abantu basalusu ngaphandle kokunyuka kwamaxabiso eMelanoma

Ngokuqinisekileyo, uyayithanda indlela ilanga elivakalelwa ngayo kulusu lwakho-kodwa ukuba sinyanisekile, uyayikhathalela umonakalo sonke esikwaziyo ukushuka. Ireyithi yamatyala e-melanoma e-US iphindaphindwe kabini kule minyaka ingamashumi amathathu idlulileyo, inani eliya kuthi gqolo ukunyuka ukuba imizamo yokuthintela ayenziwa, ngokwengxelo entsha evela kumaziko oLawulo lweZifo noThintelo.

Ngethamsanqa, iingcali zempilo yoluntu zibiza nje oko: Kwiphepha elipapashwe kwi JAMA, iingcali ezivela kwiYunivesithi yaseGeorgetown zanyanzelisa ukuba urhulumente aqalise ukuphumeza izithintelo kwiibhedi zokususa. "Ukulawula ubudala bokuba umntu angasebenzisa ibhedi yokuqhawula isikhumba kungadlala indima enkulu ekunciphiseni umngcipheko womhlaza wolusu," utshilo uLance Brown, MD, ugqirha wesikhumba oqinisekiswe eNew York. "Abantu abancinci, njengabakwishumi elivisayo, abayiqondi imiphumo yolusu kunye nomhlaza wolusu, kwaye umonakalo abawenzayo ngoku unokuchaphazela nabo kamva." Ngapha koko, i-melanoma iphakathi kwezona zinto zixhaphakileyo zomhlaza kubantu basetyhini abaneminyaka eli-15 ukuya kwengama-39.

Kodwa abantu abadala ngokuqinisekileyo abazi ngcono basafuna ukuchitha ixesha elininzi elangeni, ngaphandle konxibelelwano oluqinisekisiweyo phakathi komhlaza wolusu kunye nokushuka ngaphakathi nangaphandle. Ngoko kutheni sisenza?

Abanye abantu eneneni benziwe bemfuza ukuba balangazelele ilanga kulusu lwabo. Kukho umahluko othile kwimfuza obangela ukuba abantu abathile banqwenele imitha ngendlela amakhoboka eziyobisi anqwenela ngayo ityhefu, uxela isifundo esivela kwiSikolo iYale seMpilo kaRhulumente.

Uninzi lwethu, nangona kunjalo, ukuqiqa kulilize kwaye kulula: "Abantu bathanda indlela i-tan ebukeka ngayo kwaye abaqondi ukuba ingakhokelela njani kumhlaza wolusu," utshilo uBrown. (Ngaphezu koko, kukho zonke ezo zimo zomlutha. Bona: Ubuchopho Bakho Buvuliwe: Ukukhanya kwelanga.) Kwaye nangona sinqwenela ukucinga, akukho nto efana ne-tan ekhuselekileyo, uBrown uthi. Iibhedi zokuthambisa zimbi kakhulu, kodwa ukuvezwa kwimitha yendalo kusonyusa umngcipheko womhlaza, utshilo.

Ixesha elangeni lilayisha umzimba wakho ngevithamini D ebaluleke kakhulu-kodwa kuthatha imizuzu eli-15 kuphela yokuqaqamba ukunceda umzimba wakho uvelise ngokwaneleyo, iingcali zithi.

Kukwakho nembono eqhelekileyo ephosakeleyo yokuba ukutshiswa lilanga ngunobangela womhlaza wolusu, wongeza uBrown. Ngokuqinisekileyo abancedi-ukutshiswa lilanga nje ezintlanu ebomini bakho kwandisa umngcipheko womhlaza ngama-80 epesenti, ngokophando olwenziwe I-Cancer Epidemiology, i-Biomarkers kunye noThintelo. Kodwa akukho nkxaso kwimbono yokuba xa uchitha ixesha elangeni kodwa ungatshisi awuyi kuba nomhlaza, wongeza uBrown.

Ngokubhekisele kwi-sunscreen, kuya kufuneka uyinxibe ngokuqinisekileyo. Kodwa ungacingi ukuba ukhululekile ukuhlala elangeni yonke imva kwemini. "I-sunscreen ayikukhuseli kumhlaza wolusu. Iyakuthintela ekutshiseni okungakhokelela kumhlaza kamva ebomini," utshilo.

Ingcebiso kaBrown: Jabulela usuku oluhle, kodwa uhlale emthunzini kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Ukuba uselunxwemeni, inyuka i-SPF oqokelele kuyo, ngcono (sebenzisa ubuncinci ama-30!). Kwaye ukuba uphume yonke imva kwemini, kuya kufuneka uphinde ufake isicelo rhoqo ngokwaneleyo ukuba usebenzise ibhotile epheleleyo yescreen selanga ngokutshona kwelanga, uyacebisa. (Zama enye yeeMveliso zoKhuseleko lweLanga eziBalaseleyo ngo-2014.)

Kukho izinto zemfuza ezidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuphuhliseni i-melanoma, utshilo uBrown. Kodwa ilanga lelinye lezona zinto zinkulu- kwaye kuba ungayilawula le, kungcono ukuba uluthuthu kunokuba nosizi.
