Cancer Risk Rising Due to Sunbeds | TopNews Arab Emirates

Cancer Risk Rising Due to SunbedsIt has been recently revealed that tanning beds, usually favored by people with light skin, might actually put them to the risk of skin cancer. It has been revealed that the risk of melanoma cancer, which is an aggressive form of the disease, might also be raised due to these tanning beds.

The research was conducted by a team from the Yale School of Public Health from New Haven. It was found that there was 69% increased risk of the disease in people who used tanning beds to get evenly tanned without having to deal with the sand and water at beaches.

The reason for the same is that their body gets very closely affected by the UV rays for a long time. This is what might be responsible for raising the risk of melanoma cancer besides skin cancer.

?Indoor tanning was strikingly common in our study of young skin cancer patients, especially in the women, which may partially explain why 70 percent of early-onset BCCs are in females?, said Susan T Mayne, of the school of Public Health.

This is why it is essential that people understand the potential risk of these diseases and steer clear of using sunbeds in excess. There is need for them to understand that this could put them to the risk of being scarred for life, as well as raise their infection possibilities to such a horrendous disease. It is important that one and all stay safe from such risks. One could opt for occasional sun bathing on the beaches for the same effect, but with a lesser risk of contracting such infections.
