As summer approaches the Utahns begin to dream of basking in the warm sunshine, the American Cancer Society offers two handy references that call for sense in the sun. Fry Now, Pay Later, a leaflet, describes the three major types of carcinomas can also be treated successfully by electrical current, radiation therapy and freezing (or a combination of some of the other methods). Both ACS publications encourage caution in the sun. Avoiding the midday sun, using sunscreens at the beach or pool, and simply covering up are good ways to help prevent skin cancer. Tanning parlors should also be avoided. They may be even more dangerous than exposure to the sun, ACS officials say. Fry Now, Pay Later and Why You Should Know About Melanoma are available free from local American Cancer Society offices: 610 E.

According to the leaflet, overexposure to the sun is the most common cause of skin cancer; in fact, about ninety percent of cases occur on parts of the body not usually covered. Those most at risk include people with fair skin who sunburn easily. Out of the 400,000 new cases of skin cancer diagnosed each year, the majority are basal cell carcinoma, a cancer that may begin as small, shiny bump or nodule. Squamous cell carcinoma can also begin as a nodule or as a scaly red patch, and is the type of skin cancer usually found on the lips, ears, or elsewhere on the face.

Using lasers and a unique photosensitizing process, physicians at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center are testing a new way to illuminate and destroy cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy operates on the same principle as cancer cells are chemotherapy: destroyed without damaging normal cells nearby. Patients intravenously are given hematoporphyrin, a photosensitizing material. After 48 hours, the material is washed out of normal cells but retained by cancer cells. Using a laser, doctors then illuminate the tumor. The light initiates a chemical reaction that destroys only the cancer cells. Although the results are only preliminary, we think theres a great deal of promise, said John A. Dixon, M.D., professor of surgery and director of the Laser Institute in the Universitys Department of Surgery. "It should be much safer than other laser surgery, with little risk of damaging the lung, bowel or other organ the surgeon is working near. For the past 10 years, UofU physicians have used lasers to vaporize tumors in areas such as the esophagus. However, the heat has not only destroyed cancer cells in the area near the tumor but has harmed normal cells. The thermal effects are indiscriminate, while the photosen-sitizin- g effect should be very noted discriminating, Hopefully, the therapy also will treat deeply embedded tumors, which previously were difficult to identify at early stages.

By far the most serious skin cancer is malignant melanoma. Though the least common of the major skin cancers - approximately 22,000 cases are diagnosed annually - melanomas are responsible for about 5,500 deaths each year. ' They may originate in or near a mole, and are characterized by a black or brown color, sometimes mixed with red or blue. Despite the threat of a rising incidence of malignant melanoma, Fry Now... emphasizes that when the disease is detected early, chances for cure are good. Recognizing the need for more information on this most lethal skin cancer, the ACS has also published Why You Should Know About Melanoma, an eight page booklet developed in cooperation with the American Academy of Dermatology. exWhy You Should Know... plains that this cancer begins in melanocytes - skin cells that produce a dark pigment called melanin - which is why it is linked to moles.

Later this year, University Hospital scientists will begin a laser program. The laser is tuneable to the entire spectrum of 1,500 laser wave lengths, enabling physicians to test the effectiveness of many other photosensitizers. In present clinical trials, physicians use a dye laser that produces 630 nm of light with .001 percent of the heat production of other lasers. The dye laser was tested on five strains of mouse tumors for two years prior to use on human patients. n have used Photobiologists photosensitizing materials for over 80 years, but only recently have the medical applications been explored, according to Dr. Dixon.
