Skin Cancer: Basal, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma, Actinic Keratosis Nursing NCLEX
Skin cancer nursing NCLEX review on basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, and melanoma.
Skin cancer occurs when cells in the epidermis turn into cancerous cells. The type of skin cancer depends on the cell type affected in the epidermis.
There are two main types of skin cancer: nonmelanoma and melanoma
Nonmelanoma skin cancer includes basal and squamous cell carcinoma. Basal cell skin cancer originates from the basal cell in the stratum basale, and squamous cell skin cancer originates from the keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum.
Actinic keratosis is a precancerous type of skin cancer that can turn into squamous cell carcinoma, if not removed.
Melanoma skin cancer occurs when melanocytes mutate into cancerous cell. Melanocytes release a substance called m...

Gastric Metastasis of Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon and highly malignant skin tumor of neuroendocrine origin that exhibits rapid growth, early distant metastasis, and poor prognosis. About 80% are attributed to Merkel cell polyomavirus and the remainder to UV exposure. The most common metastatic sites are are lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and central nervous system; gastric metastasis is rare. This procedure video illustrates laparoscopic resection of a Merkel cell carcinoma that metastasized to the stomach of a woman in her 70s with an asymptomatic mass of the gastric fundus that was shown to be metabolically active by PET scan. For full case details go to http://ja.ma/1jZllYI.

Skin cancer nursing NCLEX review on basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, and melanoma.
Skin cancer occurs when cells in the epidermis turn into cancerous cells. The type of skin cancer depends on the cell type affected in the epidermis.
There are two main types of skin cancer: nonmelanoma and melanoma
Nonmelanoma skin cancer includes basal and squamous cell carcinoma. Basal cell skin cancer originates from the basal cell in the stratum basale, and squamous cell skin cancer originates from the keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum.
Actinic keratosis is a precancerous type of skin cancer that can turn into squamous cell carcinoma, if not removed.
Melanoma skin cancer occurs when melanocytes mutate into cancerous cell. Melanocytes release a substance called melanin that gives the hair, skin, and eyes their color. The melanocytes are found in the stratum basale.
Basal cell carcinoma appears as a waxy, glossy lesion with a slightly depressed center and raised edges. It is the most common type of skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma appears as a crusty, scaly lesion that can be pink or reddish and is raised. It is faster growing than BCC and can metastasize.
Melanoma can be identified by using the acronym ABCDE. It will be asymmetrical, have uneven borders, dark or multiple colors, diameter greater than 6 mm, and evolve in shape/size/color. It is highly aggressive and can metastasize to the lungs, brain, eyes, if not caught early.
Watch the video for the nursing interventions for skin cancer (includes prevention, risk factors, ABCDE assessment, and treatment).
