Explanation:

Integumentary cancer is also known as skin cancer. Most cases occur due to overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays that end up harming the skin. Cancers of the integumentary system can be of various types. The most common are carcinomas (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) with higher incidence but less severity, and melanomas which, although less frequent, are more severe because of the increased risk of metastases.

Phototherapy can often be a good option to slow the evolution of cancer cells. Ultraviolet light (UV) is the part of sunlight that causes sunburn and skin cancer. Phototherapy uses UV light to destroy skin cancer cells. This is a useful treatment for some people with skin lymphomas that are not very thick.
