Ukuvuselelwa komdlavuza wesikhumba

Inkinga yangempela ngokushiswa yilanga kanzima "Ukushiswa yilanga kuyandisa kakhulu ingozi yokuba nomdlavuza wesikhumba phansi komgwaqo - ikakhulukazi uma unesikhumba esifanele," kusho u-Eric Carter, MD, umsizi kaprofesa wezokwelapha e-Columbia University.

* Indlela elula yokwelapha umdlavuza wesikhumba? Ukhilimu osetshenziselwa ukwelapha izinsumpa zangasese ungase ube ukwelashwa kwakamuva komdlavuza wesikhumba. Abacwaningi be-Skin and Cancer Foundation ezinze eMelbourne, e-Australia bathola ukuthi uma usetshenziswa nsuku zonke isikhathi esingamasonto ayisithupha, ukhilimu (i-Imiquimod e-Australia nase-Aldara e-United States) ubonakala usiza amasosha omzimba ukulwa ne-basal-cell carcinomas. -- enye yezinhlobo ezivame kakhulu zomdlavuza wesikhumba.

Ibizwa ngokuthi "ukhilimu wokusa ekuseni" ngungoti womdlavuza wesikhumba uDavid Leffell, MD, T4 ingasebenza ngokuvimbela isakhi sofuzo se-Ps3 ekuguqukeni. Ufuzo oluguquliwe lukhona kulabo abanomdlavuza wesikhumba, kodwa kulabo abangenawo umdlavuza wesikhumba isakhi sofuzo sijwayelekile, kusho uLeffell, isikhulu sokuhlinzwa kwesikhumba kanye ne-cutaneous oncology eYale University kanye nombhali weTotal Skin (Hyperion, 2000) . Ithiyori iwukuthi ngokuvimbela lesi sakhi sofuzo ukuthi singaguquki ungase ukwazi ukuvimbela umdlavuza wesikhumba ukuba ungenzeki. Ucwaningo olwengeziwe lusadinga ukwenziwa.
