“…Skin cancer, the most prevalent cancer worldwide, can be broadly divided into melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer (which includes basal and squamous cell carcinoma), depending on the cell type. Epidemiological studies show that the incidence of skin cancer has increased at an alarming rate in previous decades not only in Western countries but also in Asia 1–3 . The World Health Organization claims that one in three cancer cases are skin related, which stresses the global importance of skin cancer prevention.…”

Skin cancer is a serious concern whose incidence is increasing at an alarming rate. Allyl sulfides—i.e., sulfur metabolites in garlic oil—have been demonstrated to have anticancer activity against several cancer types, although the mechanisms underlying these effects remain enigmatic. Our previous study showed that diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is more potent than mono- and disulfides against skin cancer. DATS inhibits cell growth of human melanoma A375 cells and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells by increasing the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage and by inducing G2/M arrest, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, including the caspase-dependent and -independent pathways. This short review focuses on the molecular mechanisms of garlic-derived allyl sulfides on skin cancer prevention.

“…Six keywords, including skin cancer, melanoma, basal cell cancer, squamous cell cancer, sun protection and sun safety, were searched in the 72 issues (12 issues per magazine) through online archival databases of the six magazines. The keywords were adopted from the study on news coverage of skin cancer by Liu et al 61 The search of the keywords within the timeframe initially yielded 28 articles. As the study aims to explore the portrayals of skin cancer, articles which discussed the health issue in a marginal manner or merely mentioned the keywords were excluded for analysis.…”

Living Healthy Versus Looking Attractive: The Multimodal Portrayal of Skin Cancer in Women's Magazines in the United States

Through a multimodal discourse analysis, this study examines the portrayal of skin cancer in six highly circulated women's magazines in the United States. The findings of this study revealed a competing relationship between the verbal and visual discourses surrounding skin cancer. Overall, the verbal messages were health-oriented, promoting the importance of physical health. However, the images focused on intentional sun exposure behaviors, accentuating the physical attractiveness of a tanned appearance. The divergence of the verbal and visual messages may indicate a tendency to impose the pro-tan norms on the female body. In addition, consumerism was also prominent in the multimodal portrayal of skin cancer, blurring the line between information and advertising. Theoretical and practical implications these findings are discussed.Keywords: multimodal discourse analysis, skin cancer, visual, women's magazine, consumerism Yiyi Yang is a doctoral candidate in the College of Communication and Information Sciences at the University of Alabama.

“…Of those studies examining the amount and/or type of news coverage, a key focus was on news coverage over time (n=71), particularly in terms of changes in the amount of coverage received and key themes within the coverage (e.g. [26,28,29,32,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]). For example, studies have found that the amount of news coverage of obesity [28,29], cancer [58,59], and smoking-related harms [32,60] have increased over time.…”

30+ years of media analysis of relevance to chronic disease: a scoping review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Chronic, non-communicable diseases are a significant public health priority, requiring action at individual, community and population levels, and public and political will for such action. Exposure to media, including news, entertainment, and advertising media, is likely to influence both individual behaviours, and attitudes towards preventive actions at the population level. In recent years there has been a proliferation of research exploring how chronic diseases and their risk factors are portrayed across various forms of media. This scoping review aims to map the literature in this area to identify key themes, gaps, and opportunities for future research in this area. Methods: We searched three databases (Medline, PsycINFO and Global Health) in July 2016 and identified 499 original research articles meeting inclusion criteria: original research article, published in English, focusing on media representations of chronic disease (including how issues are framed in media, impact or effect of media representations, and factors that influence media representations). We extracted key data from included articles and examined the health topics, media channels and methods of included studies, and synthesised key themes across studies. Results: Our findings show that research on media portrayals of chronic disease increased substantially between 1985 and 2016. Smoking and nutrition were the most frequent health topics, and television and print were the most common forms of media examined, although, as expected, research on online and social media channels has increased in recent years. The majority of studies focused on the amount and type of media coverage, including how issues are framed, typically using content analysis approaches. In comparison, there was much less research on the influences on and consequences of media coverage related to chronic disease, suggesting an important direction for future work. Conclusions: The results highlight key themes across media research of relevance to chronic disease. More indepth syntheses of studies within the identified themes will allow us to draw out the key patterns and learnings across the literature.
