by kirsten whittkar



Good news for women with high risk factors for melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer. You can reduce your chances of developing the disease by 50%, that sufficient vitamin D and calcium supplements, according to research new and promising.

Doctors know that the higher risk of breast cancer and with melanoma (basil or squamous) skin cancer. The study investigators believe that the results are very encouraging in the prevention of malignant melanoma in the population considered at high risk.

Calcium and vitamin D are known to play a role in bone growth, but they influence other cells of the body. Some studies have also shown that the two helpers of the bone are linked to lower risk for breast, colon, prostate and other cancers.

400 IU (international units) of vitamin D is all it takes, the researchers said. While U.S. IOM (Institute of Medicine) suggested that 600 IU per day.

The theory is that cancer cells in the skin, waiting to put on melanoma, but avoid the consumption of calcium and vitamin D in sufficient quantities, can be a tumor.


Calcium has been shown to be able to reduce tumor growth in patients with colon cancer. The researchers also found that an earlier study, which was the vitamin D reduces the risk of melanoma in older men.


For this work, the team collected information on more than 36 200 women between 50 and 80 years who participated in the study of the initiative on the health of women. To determine whether calcium and vitamin D had an influence on a fractured hip or colorectal cancer, subjects were assigned to take supplements or placebo. Supplement with 1,000 mg calcium and 400 international units of vitamin D.

Over the next seven years, women who were supplemented and skin cancer melanoma, without your chances of developing melanoma dangerous for a massive 57% compared to subjects who had received no supplements. The reduction is not among those who had not had cancer come from non-melanoma skin cancer.

Figures from the National Cancer Institute in the United States released more than 68,000 people are diagnosed with melanoma each year in the United States is believed that many of sun exposure in young high chances of developing melanoma skin cancer without. But the sun also plays a role in the synthesis of vitamin D. The reason is that high levels of natural vitamin D may help skin cells to become cancerous. The role of calcium is not fully understood.

More work needs to be done to see if the results appear in men or young women. The team also plans to vitamin D and calcium compounds to test directly into cancer cells.

In the meantime, if you are at risk of skin cancer is or not enough vitamin D important to stay healthy. You can use this important nutrient foods like fatty fish and dairy products, exposure to natural light (not during rush hour, of course) or take supplements every day.

Skin Cancer - Do You Know What To Look For?

By Karen M Fox


Skin cancer is increasing, and about 20% of Americans experience some form in your life.

What are the reasons for these results? Ozone depletion and the people refuse to use sun protection factors. But more people are being considered, so that more cases detected than ever before.

More than one family member treated mild cases, so my doctor tried to remain vigilant when it comes to my skin.

A self-test is easy to do, and an important clue in early detection. Start with areas that are still on display, including head and neck area. Men should also carefully observe the baldness. Everyone is at risk, regardless of skin color but people with blond hair, bright eyes with a high risk group.

The most common forms of skin cancer are basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. If treated early, often create more problems. Melanoma is the most severe form of the disease. Often in newly exposed skin with the arrival of good weather, as found in the back and legs, people lose heavier clothing shorts and summer dresses.
