SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being

摘要: Skin cancer incidence is increasing. The WHO reports between 2 and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers 132,000 melanoma globally each year, while 1 in every diagnosed a cancer. Several factors are responsible for incidence, some of them more easily treated than others. Furthermore, as social contextual within communities can often hinder UV exposure reduction (e.g., the societal promotion tanning), primary prevention not always sufficient. Early detection treatments be remarkably improved through better understanding molecular events activated after radiation reaches human cells. As such, this chapter aims to evidence how basic research regarding effects on genetic material works improve diagnostic tests treatment cancer, thus improving patient’s quality life reducing fatalities.
