Objective Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world. The study was aimed to determine the prognosis of skin cancer in Hamadan, Iran. Methods A cross- sectional study was conducted retrospectively at Sina Hospital in Hamadan, Iran. A total of 3276 cases that had been diagnosed with skin cancer from 2008 to 2018 were reviewed. The variables included early symptoms, location involved, metastasis, prognosis and treatments, were recorded in checklist. Results The mean age of the patients were 65.30 ± 14.6 years. The highest and lowest number of skin cancers were on the nose and trunk (29.3 and 3.3%). There was also no significant relationship between radiotherapy, invasion and treatment with skin cancer. The most common pathological type of skin cancers was Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). The highest relative invasion was related to Melanoma (26.4%) and the lowest relative invasion was related to BCC (2.1%). The prognosis of skin cancer and 5-year survival rate of patients was 90.7%, respectively. Conclusion The most common age of the patients with skin cancer is in the seventh decade of life. The prognosis of patients with different types of skin cancers in this study was very good, indicating that it usually improves.

Vacationers in a high-solar-intensity beach setting put themselves at risk of ultraviolet radiation (UV) over-exposure that can lead to acute and chronic health consequences including erythema, photoaging, and skin cancer. There is a current gap in existing dosimetry work on capturing detailed time-resolved anatomical distributions of UV exposure in the beach vacation setting. In this study, a radiative transfer model of the solar conditions of Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Florida, USA (27.8°N, 82.8°W) is combined with an in silico three-dimensional body model and data on typical beach vacation behaviors to calculate acute and cumulative body-site-specific UV exposure risk during a beach vacation. The resulting cumulative UV exposure calculated for a typical mix of clothing choices, settings, and activities during a week-long (7-day) beach vacation is 172.2 standard erythemal doses (SED) at the forearm, which is comparable with the average total annual UV exposure of European and North American residents and consistent with existing dosimetry studies. This model further estimates that vacationers choosing to spend a full day exclusively in the beach or pool setting can experience UV exposure in excess of 50 SED a day at multiple body sites. Such exposure indicates that significant sun protective measures would be required to prevent sunburn across all skin types in this setting. This work clarifies the significant role that beach vacations play in UV exposure and corresponding acute and cumulative health risks and highlights the importance of behavioral choices (including clothing, activity and photoprotection) as crucial factors in differentiating personal solar exposure risks.
