Hugh Jackman reveals he's been treated again for skin cancer

Ultraviolet rays (UVR) are sneaky. Not only can they cause skin cancer and visible signs of aging, they’re also very good at finding you. They can bounce off water, off sand, and they can penetrate glass. Which means that even if you’re inside your car or house, if you’re sitting next to a window with sunlight streaming in, you’re at risk for UV damage? Window film is an increasingly effective solution, offering substantial indoor protection by blocking up to 99.9 percent of UVA radiation. “To see the damage that untreated glass can do, take a close look at the furnishings in your home that are hit by direct sunlight,” says Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation. “If the sun has faded the color of your sofa, it can just as easily damage your skin when you sit there.”

Window film

Window film is a thin film or laminate that can be installed to the interior of glass surfaces in automobiles, boats, homes and buildings. It is usually made from polyester due to its clarity, tensile strength, dimensional stability; and ability to accept a variety of surface-applied or embedded treatments.

Window film can be generically described by the components it contains for performance and/or aesthetics; i.e. dyed, metallized, ceramic – or by its intended use. Uses can be roughly divided into automotive/marine where surfaces are often curved and architectural where flat glass is usual. Window film is normally applied by professional service companies but there are also D.I.Y kits widely available.

Ultraviolet radiation can travel through car and home windows, where it can contribute to the daily accumulation of sun exposure that can lead to skin cancer and photo aging. UV-blocking films can not only protect you against this exposure, but can offer other benefits as well.

The Skin Cancer Foundation has awarded its Seal of Recommendation to window films manufactured by several different brands, including 3M, nexin, Solar Gard and Panorama, and Solutia Performance Films. Products granted the Seal of Recommendation have been proven to provide safe and effective UV radiation protection.

Now, UVA-protective film has moved indoors big-time. Residential and commercial films come in flat sheets, in varied tints, cutting down glare by more than half while allowing 30-80 percent of visible light to get through, depending on the customer’s wants. Like automobile film, they block out up to 99.9 percent of UVR. This helps prevent not only sunburn, but also the brief daily UV exposures that cumulatively accelerate skin aging and multiply the risk of skin cancer. In addition, the film can be lifesavers for people with diseases involving dangerous photosensitivity, such as xerodermatic pigment sum and lupus.

 

Along with clear health benefits, window film offers other advantages:

  • In hot weather, it cuts down heat within the home, which can reduce air conditioning expenses.
  • In cold weather, it reflects interior heat back into the house, reducing heating costs.
  • It helps keep sunshine from fading car upholstery and home furnishings.
  • Some new types of “safety” film help hold residential and commercial glass in place if shattered. Several times thicker than the standard sun-protective film, it can greatly reduce the chances of break-ins, property damage, and even personal injury that can result from broken glass.

Car window tinting

The “window film” revolution is gaining momentum. It began with automobiles in the 1990’s. Research showed that drivers with left-hand drive developed more skin damage on the left side of their bodies, while those with right-hand drive developed more damage on the right. The reason?  UVR streaming through the driver-side windows. “Long-time drivers are found to have rougher, more pigmented skin with greater solar damage on their driver’s side,” noted Albert Kligman, MD, PhD, emeritus professor of dermatology, University of Pennsylvania Medical School, Philadelphia.

All of a car’s windows filter out the sun’s short-wave, UVB rays -all glass will filter UVB, in fact – but only the windshield in cars comes partially treated against the sun’s UVA rays. However, for several years in all 50 states, transparent UVA-filtering film has been available for vehicles’ side and back window glass. It screens out almost 100 percent of UVB and UVA, without reducing visibility.

Hugh Jackman

Hugh Michael Jackman (born 12 October 1968) is an Australian actor, producer and musician. Jackman has won international recognition for his roles in major films, notably as superhero, period, and romance characters. He is best known for his long-running role as Wolverine in the X-Men film series, as well as for his lead roles in the romantic-comedy fantasy Kate & Leopold (2001), the action-horror film Van Helsing (2004), the magic-themed drama The Prestige (2006), the epic historical romantic drama Australia (2008), the sci-fi sports drama Real Steel (2011), the film version of Les Misérables (2012), and the thriller Prisoners (2013). His work in Les Misérables earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and his first Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy in 2013.

Hugh Jackman reveals he is likely to have more and will need check-ups every three months for the rest of his life

Hugh Jackman has been very open about his skin cancers since first discovering Basal Cell Carcinoma on his nose in 2013. And as the Australian actor attempts to raise awareness about the disease, which is especially prevalent in his home country, he has revealed to WHO magazine that he has in fact now had four skin cancers in the last 18 months and been told that he is likely to have more as times goes on.

The 46-year-old opened up about how his doctor has tried to keep him calm about his lifelong battle by telling him ‘if that’s your only cross to bear in life, you should be so lucky.’

 

Hugh, who is now required to have his skin checked every three months, first revealed he had some cancerous cells removed in November 2013. Luckily he had the seemingly innocuous mark checked out after his makeup artist noticed a little spot of blood on his nose while he was filming X Men: Days of Future. At the time the hunky star revealed his wife Debora-Lee Furness, whom he married in 1996 and has two children Oscar, 14 and Ava, nine, also strongly encouraged him to seek a medical opinion.

‘Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy was she right! I had a Basal Cell Carcinoma. ‘Please don’t be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!! (Sic),’ he told his Instagram followers.

The Wolverine star says the second time round he had thought it was just a freckle but this was also cancerous and the third cancer was found after he noticed a bit of blood on his nose. Worryingly Hugh says he had only had a check-up a week before the third cancer and had been given the all clear. ‘In that one week it had grown, and it was probably the biggest one I had’ he tells the magazine.

 

And speaking at the premiere of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, China, last year he spoke about the battle saying: ‘I’m realistic about the future and it’s more than likely that I’ll have at least one more but probably many more, which is not uncommon for an Aussie particularly from English stock growing up in Australia where I don’t remember ever being told to put sunscreen on.’  He added that he is trying hard to stay positive about his health and has been attending regular check-ups.
