鲍勃·马利的皮肤癌
鲍勃·马利（Bob Marley）是1981年去世的36岁。他去世前四年被诊断出患有黑色素瘤。诊断前的几个月，1977年夏天，鲍勃·马利（Bob Marley）在法国巴黎踢足球时受伤。他的脚趾被部分分离。当他咨询酒店医生时，他删除了脚趾甲。他告诉他的经理，他的“关闭”已经酸痛了几年。
Initially, the injury seemed like it was healing but later that summer it worsened and he consulted with a doctor in London, while on tour. The doctor ordered a biopsy and diagnosed Marley with malignant melanoma. In subsequent doctors visits, the diagnosis of malignant melanoma was confirmed. He was advised that the toe should be amputated, however, Marley refused, citing religious reasons. Marley was a devout Rastafarian and one of their beliefs is based on the Leviticus 21:5 in the Old Testament, "They shall not make baldness upon their heads, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh."
一种lthough he didn't agree to the amputation, he did allow a doctor in Miami to excise the cancerous tissue and do a skin graft. This surgery was considered successful but as Marley continued his music career over the next several years, his health deteriorated. By 1980, Marley's cancer has metastasized and although he didn't feel well, he continued to tour, starting a tour with Stevie Wonder. The second stop of the tour was in New York and it is reported that Marley looked ill during the concert. The morning after the concert, he collapsed during a run in Central Park. He was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Marley在接下来的几个月中与纽约和迈阿密的医生进行咨询，但没有接受任何治疗。在某一时刻，他接受了一些辐射治疗，但随后选择停止治疗。他最终去德国寻求整体医生约瑟夫·伊萨尔斯（Josef Issels）的帮助。他接受了运动，臭氧注射和维生素等治疗方法。但是这些治疗方法不起作用，马利决定回到他在牙买加的家中死亡。他在飞机上生病，他们在佛罗里达停下。他的癌症已经传播到他的肝脏，肺和大脑。
鲍勃·马利（Bob Marley）患有尖锐的黑色素瘤，这是一种在高加索人和非裔美国人中发生的皮肤癌，非常侵略性。它最常见于手掌，脚底和大脚趾周围。它可以在指甲下生长，并且在脚上比在手上更常见。这是最常见的形式颜色皮肤中的黑色素瘤。
尽管有色皮肤的人较少患皮肤癌的风险，但死亡率更高。这可能是因为它们不一定将皮肤癌与不会愈合或不规则形状的痣的酸痛相关联，并且在癌症扩散之前不会寻求医疗护理。
指甲下方的变色或暗条纹可以是尖锐的纵向黑色素瘤的第一迹象。它也可能是在您的手掌或脚底上的骨头上看起来像变色。其他预警信号包括：
不会治愈的酸痛
具有不规则边界或不对称的摩尔
一种痣改变形状，成长或改变颜色
具有多种颜色的痣
流血的痣是鳞片，瘙痒或受伤
新痣
痣周围发红或肿胀
如果您有任何这些迹象，那么立即看到皮肤科医生很重要。早期发现和治疗皮肤癌至关重要。
