CNN News:或許我們應該遠離日光浴

It goes on every year at May to get people`s attention about skin cancer. The organization says one in five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. The event aims to tell people, particularly those who spent time in the sun what to watch out for.

每年五月人們就會關注皮膚癌。有機構曾表示一生當中，每5個美國人就會有1人患皮膚癌。其旨在告訴人們，尤其是在太陽下消磨光陰的人們對此要注意。

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

黑色素瘤是最危險的皮膚癌。

A melanoma is a cancer that begins in the skin cells. The face and the neck are common areas for melanomas to appear. For men also, the chest and the back, for women, the legs. Exposure to U.V. lights such as the sun causes most melanomas.

黑色素瘤開始于皮膚細胞。其中面部和頸部是黑色素瘤最常見的區(qū)域。男性的胸膛和背部比較常見，而女性則是腿部。暴露在紫外線下如太陽光下，最容易引發(fā)黑色素瘤。

When melanoma is caught early, it`s almost always curable. In fact, when you look at people where melanoma was caught early, five years later, 97 percent of them are still alive. But when melanoma is caught late, it is extremely deadly. When you look at melanomas that are stage four, that`s the most advanced, five years later, only 15 percent to 20 percent of those people are still alive.

黑色素患病早期，幾乎可以治愈。實際上，如果你調(diào)查黑色素癌癥的早期患者，5年后，約有97%患者仍在世。但是如果到了黑色素癌癥晚期，則是致命的。如果你調(diào)查處于第四階段的黑色素癌癥患者，5年后，只有15%到20%的患者在世。

Unfortunately, melanoma is particularly likely to spread to the brain. When you look at people with stage four melanoma, 60 percent of those patients will develop brain tumors.

不幸的是，黑色素瘤可能擴散至大腦。60%的黑色素癌晚期患者，已經(jīng)發(fā)展成腦癌。

There are various treatments for melanoma. It can include surgery, radiation chemotherapy and the use of targeted, newer cancer drugs.

有各種各種治療黑色素癌的方法。其中包括手術、放射療法、以及服用針對性的、新型的癌癥藥物。

Now, some melanomas can`t be prevented, but some can. So, the most important thing is to stay out of the sun as much as you can, and if you are in the sun, cover up with clothing or with sunscreen. And certainly, don`t use tanning beds.

現(xiàn)在，盡管有些黑色素瘤不能防御，但是有些可以。所以，最重要的是盡可能的遠離太陽。如果你在陽光下，蓋上衣服或者涂上防曬霜。當然啦，不要使用日光浴床。

The American Cancer Society recommends that you check your body once a month. Look for moles, look for new moles, and also for changes in moles that already you have.

美國癌癥協(xié)會建議大家每月檢查一次身體。檢查斑、新斑或者已有斑的變化情況。
