　　Melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer, is now the most common cancer in young 1 women, the countrys leading cancer organization said Wednesday. Skin cancer has 2 cervical cancer as the top cancer striking women in their 20s, according to the latest data from Cancer Research United Kingdom.

　　The trend is particularly 3 since younger people are not generally those most susceptible to melanoma. Rates of skin cancer are 4 highest in people over age 75.

　　But experts worry that increasing numbers of younger people being diagnosed with skin cancer could be the 5 of a dangerous trend. Women 6 their 20s make up a small percentage of all patients diagnosed with melanoma in Britain, but nearly a third of all cases occur in people younger than 50.

　　Based on current numbers, Cancer Research UK predicts that melanoma will become the fourth most common cancer for men and women of all 7 by 2024, and that cases will jump from about 9,000 cases a year to more than 15,500.

　　Cancer experts 8 the rising number of skin cancer cases largely to the surge in people using tanning salons. Spending time on sunbeds is just 9 dangerous as staying out too long in the sun, said Caroline Cerny of Cancer Research UK. The organization is starting a SunSmart campaign to warn Britons of the 10 of being too bronzed.

　　The intensity of UV rays in some sunbeds can be more than 10 times 11 than the midday sun, Cerny said.

　　In the United States, several states require parental approval 12 minors can use tanning salons. Wisconsin bans people 16 and 13 from using tanning beds, and others ban children under 14. At least 29 states have -regulations governing minors use of tanning salons.

　　In the U. K. , Scottish politicians passed legislation banning those under 18 from using tanning beds, though it hasnt yet been implemented. There are no plans for 14 in the rest of the U.K.

　　The World Health Organization has previously recommended that tanning beds be regulated because of their potential to damage DNA in the skin.

　　Experts said most deadly skin cancers could be 15 if people took the proper precautions when in the sun and avoided tanning beds.

　　第十二篇 皮肤癌成英国年轻女性患癌第一疾病

　　最致命的皮肤癌黑素瘤现成为英国年轻女性患有的最普遍癌症，英国主要癌症研究组织周三称。根据英国癌症研究组织的最新数据，皮肤癌已取代宫颈癌成为20几岁女性的头号癌症杀手。

　　这一趋势着实令人担忧，因为年轻人通常不是最容易患黑素瘤的人群。皮肤癌的最高发病率常见于75岁以上人群。

　　但专家担心越来越多的年轻人被诊断患有皮肤癌，这可能成为危险趋势的苗头。20几岁的女性仅占英国全部确诊黑素瘤病人的一小部分，但近三分之一的病例都出现于50岁以下人群。

　　根据目前的数据，英国癌症研究组织预计，截止到2024年，黑素瘤将成为所有年龄人群患有的第四普遍的癌症，年均发病率将从目前的9000例跃升至15500例。

　　癌症专家将不断增加的皮肤癌病例主要归咎于越来越多的人使用日光浴沙龙。长时间躺在日光浴浴床上与在阳光下呆得时间太久一样危险，英国癌症研究组织的卡罗琳赛尔妮说。这一组织正在开展聪明享受阳光活动，以此来提醒英国人晒太阳过多的危险。

　　某些浴床的紫外线强度是正午太阳紫外线强度的10倍还多，赛尔妮说。

　　美国的好几个州都要求青少年在获得父母批准后才能使用13光浴。威斯康辛州禁止16岁以下的孩子使用日光浴浴床，其他几个州则是对14岁以下的儿童开出了同样的禁令。至少有29个州都有管理青少年使用日光浴的法令法规。

　　英国苏格兰的政治家们通过立法禁止18岁以下人群使用日光浴浴床，尽管这一法令还未得以实施。英国其他地方还没有相关立法的计划。

　　世界卫生组织早前已经建议对El光浴浴床进行控制因为它们对皮肤里的脱氧核糖核酸构成潜在威胁。

　　专家表示如果人们在阳光下采取适当的预防措施并避免使用日光浴浴床的话，那么可能就不会患有最致命的皮肤癌了。
