CNN News:或许我们应该远离日光浴

It goes on every year at May to get people`s attention about skin cancer. The organization says one in five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. The event aims to tell people, particularly those who spent time in the sun what to watch out for.

每年五月人们就会关注皮肤癌。有机构曾表示一生当中，每5个美国人就会有1人患皮肤癌。其旨在告诉人们，尤其是在太阳下消磨光阴的人们对此要注意。

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

黑色素瘤是最危险的皮肤癌。

A melanoma is a cancer that begins in the skin cells. The face and the neck are common areas for melanomas to appear. For men also, the chest and the back, for women, the legs. Exposure to U.V. lights such as the sun causes most melanomas.

黑色素瘤开始于皮肤细胞。其中面部和颈部是黑色素瘤最常见的区域。男性的胸膛和背部比较常见，而女性则是腿部。暴露在紫外线下如太阳光下，最容易引发黑色素瘤。

When melanoma is caught early, it`s almost always curable. In fact, when you look at people where melanoma was caught early, five years later, 97 percent of them are still alive. But when melanoma is caught late, it is extremely deadly. When you look at melanomas that are stage four, that`s the most advanced, five years later, only 15 percent to 20 percent of those people are still alive.

黑色素患病早期，几乎可以治愈。实际上，如果你调查黑色素癌症的早期患者，5年后，约有97%患者仍在世。但是如果到了黑色素癌症晚期，则是致命的。如果你调查处于第四阶段的黑色素癌症患者，5年后，只有15%到20%的患者在世。

Unfortunately, melanoma is particularly likely to spread to the brain. When you look at people with stage four melanoma, 60 percent of those patients will develop brain tumors.

不幸的是，黑色素瘤可能扩散至大脑。60%的黑色素癌晚期患者，已经发展成脑癌。

There are various treatments for melanoma. It can include surgery, radiation chemotherapy and the use of targeted, newer cancer drugs.

有各种各种治疗黑色素癌的方法。其中包括手术、放射疗法、以及服用针对性的、新型的癌症药物。

Now, some melanomas can`t be prevented, but some can. So, the most important thing is to stay out of the sun as much as you can, and if you are in the sun, cover up with clothing or with sunscreen. And certainly, don`t use tanning beds.

现在，尽管有些黑色素瘤不能防御，但是有些可以。所以，最重要的是尽可能的远离太阳。如果你在阳光下，盖上衣服或者涂上防晒霜。当然啦，不要使用日光浴床。

The American Cancer Society recommends that you check your body once a month. Look for moles, look for new moles, and also for changes in moles that already you have.

美国癌症协会建议大家每月检查一次身体。检查斑、新斑或者已有斑的变化情况。
