Skin Cancer Development Time Lapse (Normal to Squamous Cell Carcinoma Over 25 Years)

Using generative AI, this time lapse sequence shows how squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer develops over 25 years. Starting with normal skin, sun damage eventually leads to actinic keratosis formation. In about 10% of actinic keratosis, malignant change occurs ultimately resulting in the development of skin cancer.

Obviously, such a time lapse can not be realistically accomplished as there is no way to know if any given area of skin will turn into cancer. Obviously, somebody with such future knowledge would have to start taking such photos now in the same spot over next 25 years to watch it slowly turn into cancer.

This is extremely informative for physicians. Thank you.

[shin-ishikiri-no]

Music perfectly describes my feeling right now.

[PeaceNinja]

How did they know that specific part of the skin was going to develop into skin cancer 25 years later ?

[adel]

What's shame primary Drs don't take it seriously until there's visible drastic change or damage.

[SlimShadybby]

This is on my breast and has been for months, best know that I booked an appointment at the doctors in quick time

[shelfingtontherd]

I had the same type of bump that got larger over a decade. I put castor oil on it everyday, three times a day and it disappeared in 2 weeks. Castor oil is a miracle. You have to try it.

[Rachel-xghs]

Man if it were me I wouldn’t even know it was something to go get checked until after the 20-year mark.

[Kelseysophia]

My grandpa passed away from this, and now my grandma has had it too..I am deathly afraid of getting it myself

[kimlique]

Unfortunately none of my skin cancers looked like this at all which is way more scary because they just looked like normal moles

[Roshonda-yh]

This is worse then a scary movie. Don't no one in the world want to know if they have cancer due to fact it's life or death in some cases. Watching this with the music gives me chills.

So, there is an ad strip for a poster right through these pictures so you can't see anything.

I've got this on my hand. It's on the top fleshy part between my thumb and forefinger where I was once bitten by a rattlesnake when I was a kid. I'm 55 now. It's been changing over the past 2 years. It was very faint at first and now looks like year 19 more or less. At 55 should I be worried about this? I cycle 50 miles daily and am always in the sun in Palm Springs California.

[dmm]

Can't see it cuz it's blocked by You Tube writing

[franciscocruzjr.]

People need to stop blaming the sun and look what you are applying on your skin and eating.

[MurrayNoneya-ybil]

I've had those but they go away after a long time. Live a healthy lifestyle.

[carolyoung]

Ive got skin cancer looking at is video.

[EvaRodriguez-dy]

How was this time lapse of developing skin cancer taken? Did the patient refuse the treatment or did the treatment fail?

[dylendog]

I used castor oil on mine for about a month and left the building

[FreezerBurn.]

Can’t believe someone sat there perfectly motionless for 25 yrs. When did they go poop?!

[WrightLamb.]

Notice there is no deviation in the picture, ? How did they capture this in real time ?....???
