Dermis Attachment of epidermis to dermis is enhanced by an increased interface between the two tissues. The junction between the dermis and epidermis is seen in the light microscope as an uneven boundary except in the thinnest skin. Sections of skin cut perpendicular to the surface reveal numerous fingerlike connective tissue protrusions, dermal papillae, that project into the undersurface of the epidermis (see Figs. 15.1 and 15.2). The papillae are complemented by what appear to be similar epidermal

Overcoming the perils of Canoe Lake * Describe the general structure of skin Epidermis, and Dermis The epidermis is the relatively thin, tough, outer layer of the skin. Most of the cells in the epidermis are keratinocytes. They originate from cells in the deepest layer of the epidermis called the basal layer. New keratinocytes slowly migrate up toward the surface of the epidermis. Once the keratinocytes reach the skin surface, they are gradually shed and are replaced by newer cells pushed up

The doctors break down the stage of skin cancer into two stages. The first one is local which is if the skin cancer is only affecting the skin. The second is metastatic which of course is if the skin cancer has spread beyond the skin. They also will classify them with the TNM system. T stands for tumor, N stands for spread to the lymph nodes, and M is for metastasis and this means that it has spread to other distant organs. Now lets get to the stages of Melanoma and Non-melanoma and what exactly

of skin cancer. Melanoma develops when melanocytes do not respond to the normal control mechanisms of cellular growth. This condition often occurs in melanocytes of a preexisting mole where the abnormal growth invades nearby structures or spreads to other organs in the body. When this happens, the growths invade and compromise functions of those structures or organs. Explained simply; the cancerous growths develop when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells triggers mutations that lead the skin cells

Epidemiology of Skin Cancer Skin cancer is best known as a mutation of the skin when cells grow abnormally. These mutations most commonly come in forms of moles, freckles, or simple markings that are out of the norm. Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most commonly occurring form of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinomas occur in the basal cells in the lining of the skin and mostly occur from over exposure to sunlight. Skin cancer is rising to become the most prevalent form of cancer. According to The Skin Cancer
