Abstract:

The most common type of cancer in humans is skin cancer. This disease begins with the growth of cells on the skin and develops as they spread to other parts of the body. The causes of its occurrence include exposure to sunlight, hereditary factors, genetic mutations, and skin color. The outward signs of this disease include new bumps or rough spots on the skin, chronic wounds, changes or discoloration of moles and freckles, itching or pain around the skin growth. Types of skin cancer include basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Common methods of treating skin cancer include cryotherapy, surgery, electrodesiccation, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, etc. Due to the negative impact of the above methods on the structure and physiological depth of the body and the occurrence of unpleasant clinical complications such as diarrhea and vomiting, pain, hair loss, digestive problems, loss of appetite, and skin discoloration, in recent years, extensive research has been conducted to use various methods such as natural and traditional techniques, alternative and complementary methods with the aim of reducing treatment outcomes and controlling stress and improving patients’ mood. Some herbal medicines effective against skin cancer include turmeric, bloodroot, milk thistle, green tea, and berberine. Alternative and complementary methods such as dietary changes, exercise, meditation, homeopathy, and acupuncture have also been used. The latest research shows that biological materials are effective in the treatment of skin cancer. In this study, an attempt has been made to introduce a new generation of biobased compounds and various gels for repairing skin cancer. Research shows that biological materials and their derivatives can play a significant role alone or as combined methods in limiting and eliminating skin tumors.
