Dr. Lin’s patient has skin cancer. The patient worked out in the sun without lotion for many years. Cancer then developed. What type of risk factor does this scenario best represent?
1) environmental
2) biological
3) behavioral
4) genetic

Answer:

Though it is technically her behavior (working out in the sun) that led to her getting skin cancer, I think the answer is 1) environmental because the sun's rays are an environmental factor that led to skin cancer. Hope this helps!

The type of risk factor involved in this scenario of getting cancer is known as environmental. Thus, the correct option for this question is A.

Cancer may be defined as the scenario of the uncontrolled rapid division and proliferation of cells. This uncontrolled rapid proliferation and division induce the formation of tumors. These tumors are known as undifferentiated cell masses.

Skin cancer belongs to the type of carcinoma. More than 90% of cancers are carcinoma. It includes colon cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.

Skin cancer is most probably caused by inducing mutations in the genetic sequences due to high exposure to sunlight that contains UV radiation. So, it involves the environmental risk factors.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is A.
