THERE are several major risk factors with skin cancer, Eastwood based Dr Peter Kim (pictured)<br />

said this week.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se factors are fair skin,<br />

family history, personal history,<br />

exposure to the sun, freckles,<br />

non healing skin lesions and immune<br />

suppression.<br />

“If you have any of these factors,<br />

you are automatically at a<br />

higher risk of having a skin cancer,”<br />

Dr Kim said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> fairer your skin is the<br />

more likely it is that your skin<br />

will burn and you will have a<br />

higher risk of developing skin<br />

cancer.<br />

“A typical stereotype of these<br />

skin types are people from European,<br />

Scandinavian and British<br />

descent as their skin is fair and<br />

they tend to burn rather than<br />

tan.”<br />

Family history and personal<br />

history are also factors.<br />

“Some skin cancers tend to run<br />

in the family and if you had one<br />

skin cancer, you are more likely<br />

to have another one,” Dr Kim<br />

said.<br />

Australian governments have<br />

funded major advertising campaigns<br />

to warn of the risk of over<br />

exposure to sunlight, often using<br />

models with fair skin and freckles.<br />

“Whether it is recreational or<br />

work related, prolong exposure<br />

to high level UV exposure is the<br />

reason why Australia is the skin<br />

cancer capital of the world,” he<br />

said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> number of freckles in<br />

your body is a positive correlation<br />

to the risk of developing<br />

melanoma.”<br />

People with a non healing skin<br />

lesion should seek medical advice.<br />

“Skin cancers don’t heal and<br />

that is why they present as a non<br />

healing skin lesion.<br />

“All non healing skin lesions<br />

should attract medical attention.”<br />

Immune suppression also increases<br />

the risk.<br />

“Whether you immune is suppressed<br />

because of chemotherapy,<br />

medications or medical<br />

illness, these patients are more<br />

susceptible to skin cancers.”<br />

Dr Kim stressed that two out<br />

of every three Australians will<br />

be diagnosed with skin cancer<br />

by the time they are 70 and that<br />

more than 750,000 people treated<br />

for one or more non-melanoma<br />

skin cancers in Australia<br />

each year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> recent statistics further<br />

indicate that 13,134 Australians<br />

were diagnosed with melanoma<br />

while 2015, 2,162 people died<br />

from skin cancer in Australia.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se fatalities include 1,520<br />

from melanoma and 642 from<br />

non-melanoma skin cancers.<br />

Ryde looks to<br />

adopt a sister<br />

THE KOREAN CITY<br />

of Dong Dae Mun<br />

could be a sister city<br />

with the City of Ryde<br />

under a Friendship<br />

Agreement prposed<br />

by Clr Dr Peter Kim.<br />

Councillors voted unanimously<br />

at last Tuesday<br />

night’s council meeting<br />

to give in-principle agreement<br />

to the sister city<br />

proposal and requested<br />

General Manager George<br />

Dedes bring a report on<br />

the idea to an upcoming<br />

council meeting.<br />

Mr Dedes is also expected<br />

to consult with<br />

the local Korean speaking<br />

community and with<br />

the South Korean consulate.<br />

Local resident Jason<br />

Koh addressed the council<br />

meeting and spoke of<br />

trade opportunities that<br />

could flow from a sister<br />

city agreement.<br />

“Sister city agreements<br />

can be symbolic but<br />

the beauty of sister city<br />

agreements is that they<br />

encourage both friendship<br />

and businesses<br />

partnerships,” he said.<br />

“If the City of Ryde<br />

takes this partnership<br />

seriously it will maximise<br />

joint venture opportunities<br />

with Dong Dae Mun<br />

City, which is a centre<br />

piece of South Korea’s<br />

economic hub.”<br />
