Morals and religion aside, I WOULD NEVER take a male birth control pill (they’re working on them).
I think women who do this are nuts!
Don’t tinker!
Unsurprising.
From the article:
“The introduction of indoor tanning is likely to have played a major role in this spike.”
Call me skeptical, but the increasingly fashionable bombardment of the skin cells with artificial UV light strikes me as a much larger factor for skin cancer risk than the pill. Did the study control for the fact that sexually active women are both more likely to use the pill and more likely to tan? Correlation is not causation.
skeptical: Men are twice as likely to get and die from cancer.
How about the documented concerns about the pill and children born after a mother goes off the pill having a discernable increase in homosexuality in those children.
Because it is potentially fatal, dermatologists have no choice but to biopsy everything that even looks like it might be Melanoma.
Once your biopsy goes to the lab, pathologists have no choice but to highlight every cell that even looks like Melanoma.
Pathologists use a 5 point scale to make a diagnosis.
1 - not Melanoma
5 - definitely Melanoma
Their accuracy on 1 and 5 is close to 100%
Their accuracy on 2-3-4 can be highly subjective and is usually biased towards Melanoma.
In addition, many people have “dormant” Melanomas that would not become aggressive during their lifetime.
Doesn't matter - if it looks like Melanoma, the Dermo is going to chop it out.
