Abstract:
Arsenic is a common environmental toxin,but also a carcinogen.Long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic can cause multi-system and multi-organ damage in the body,including cancerous and non-cancerous lesions.As one of the main target organs of arsenic exposure,skin damage is of great significance for the diagnosis and health assessment of arsenic poisoning in population threatened by the disease.From the perspective of arsenic exposure and skin cancer,the aim of this article is to summarize the epidemiology,pathogenesis and medical intervention of arsenic-induced skin cancer,and to provide reference for the pathogenesis and prevention of endemic arsenic poisoning related skin diseases.
