New British finds that a quarter of middle-aged adults’ skin cells have taken the first steps towards cancer
Skin cancer is one of the ten most common cancers around the world. It happens when ultraviolet radiation from the sun bombards your skin and transforms it from healthy tissue to cancerous tissue.
To reach this new finding, researchers behind the study analysed excess eyelid skin that they removed from four patients. They drilled down into the skin’s DNA to discover the very first steps being taken on the journey to
skin cancer.
Dr Peter Campbell, head of the cancer genetics at Sanger, told BBC News: “The most surprising thing is just the scale – that a quarter to a third of cells had these cancerous mutations. It’s way higher than we’d expect. But these cells are functioning normally.”

The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").

Stop sun worshipping and avoid having your skin cells take the first steps towards cancer!
Dr Campbell says: “The finding certainly changes my sun worshipping, but I don’t think we should be terrified.”
“It drives home the message that these mutations accumulate throughout life, and the best prevention is a lifetime of attention to the damage from sun exposure,” he adds.
Dr Bav Shergill from the British Association of Dermatologists says the best ways to avoid deadly
skin cancer are to wear protective clothing, wear a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and always seek shade when you’re outside.
“Although we all need some sun, avoid sunburn and skin damage when the sun is strong by spending time in the shade, covering up with clothing and using plenty of sunscreen,” Dr Shergill says.
