proportion of patients with cancer. Although the presence of eumelanin in dark skin is protective against the development of skin cancer, it is increasingly being diagnosed in the Indian population. Skin cancer is melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer is an uncontrolled growth and spread of cells or lesions in the epidermis (the outer layer of skin).Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or other sources, like tanning beds, is the greatest risk factor for developing skin cancer. Overall, skin cancers affect more people than lung, breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. The two most common forms of non-melanoma skin cancers are basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Melanoma accounts for less than two percent of skin cancer cases, but causes the most skin cancer deaths. The number of non-melanoma skin cancer (i.e., basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma) is difficult to estimate because these cases are not required to be reported to the Indian State Cancer Registry.

1.INTRODUCTION
The best way to detect skin cancer early is to recognize changes in skin growths or the appearance of new growths. Adults should thoroughly examine their skin regularly, preferably once a month. New or unusual lesions or a progressive change in a lesion’s appearance (size, shape, or color, for example) should be evaluated promptly by a health care provider [1]. Melanomas often start as small, mole-like growths that increase in size and might change color. People of all ages, races, and ethnicities are subject to developing skin cancer. Some risk factors include: • Age. During 2008-2012, more than 74 percent of melanoma cases occurred among India residents ages 50 and older. However, nationally, melanoma is on the rise among younger people [2].Ski Cacer • Sex. Overall, during 2008-2012, the incidence rate for melanoma among Indiana males was 30 percent higher than among females. However, before the age of 50, the incidence rate among females was 64 percent higher than among males. Then, among people ages 55 and older, males had more than twice the risk that females did [3]. • Race. During 2008-2012, the risk of melanoma was 15 times higher for Indiana whites than for African Americans; however, anyone can develop the disease [4]. © 2017, IRJET

of sun sensitivity and sun damage. • Hair and eye color. People with natural blonde or red hair or blue or green eyes are more susceptible to a higher risk of developing melanoma. • Multiple or atypical nevi (moles). People who have a large number of moles (more than 50) often have a higher risk of developing melanoma [5]. • Family history. The risk for developing melanoma is greater for someone who has had one or more close relatives diagnosed with the disease. • Excessive exposure to UV radiation from the sun and tanning beds. The US Department of Health and Human Services and the International Agency of Research on Cancer panel has found that exposure to sunlamps or sun beds is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans [6]. • History of sunburn. Sunburn at an early age can increase a person’s risk for developing melanoma and other skin cancers [7]. • Diseases that suppress the immune system. People who have a weakened immune system or who are being treated with immune-suppressing medicines, have an increased risk for melanoma [8]. • Past history of basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers. • Occupational exposure to coal tar, pitch, creosote, arsenic compounds, radium, or some pesticides. Basal cell carcinoma might appear as growths that are flat or as small raised pink or red, translucent, shiny areas that might bleed following minor injury. Squamous cell carcinoma might appear as growing lumps, often with a rough surface, or as flat, reddish patches that grow slowly [9].

It is clear from figure that cancer disease increasing rapidly in India in male and female both categories. This report provide a quick review of some useful techniques of data mining and gives a most appropriate novel approach to identify hidden patterns of cancer disease. This report also provides techniques to identifying most relevant attributes for cancer disease patents [10]. It is estimated that 240,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013 making it the most commonly diagnosed non coetaneous ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal
