A Possible Mechanical Risk for Melanoma of the Foot
Can walking or running increase the risk of the skin cancer melanoma on your feet?
A recent study out of Japan suggests that repetitive mechanical stress and pressure on our feet might increase the risk of melanoma. They found a higher number of cases of melanoma in areas of more pressure such as the heel and the ball of the foot and a lower number of cases in areas of less pressure such as the arch. This was published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
This is a good reminder to inspect your feet during routine skin cancer exams.
