Description

The skin is the largest organ in the body, covering its entire external surface. The skin’s structure is an intricate layered network that serves as the body’s suit of armor protecting against everything from bacteria and fungus to ultraviolet (UV) light, to chemicals and mechanical injury, while also regulating temperature and hydration. In aggregate cancers of the skin are the most common cancers. Fortunately, they can be prevented, screened for, and when found early, as most are, cured. On this episode, we’ll hear from callers with questions touching on each of these issues.
