Skin cancer? I don't recall ever being diagnosed with that. Su Yun asked while heading back.

Translation: "Skin cancer? How come I don't remember having this diagnosis?" Su Yun asked on the way back.

We need to keep quotes? The Chinese includes quotation marks. Should we keep them? Usually we translate the content, but we can keep the quotes as part of translation? The instruction: translate faithfully, not add or omit. The quotation marks are punctuation; we can keep them. We'll output: "Skin cancer? How come I don't remember having this diagnosis?" Su Yun asked on the way back.

But need to keep as single line.

Oh, generally speaking, no, the diagnosis report probably didn't mention it.

His skin cancer was caused by a small wound he accidentally got while chopping in his kitchen six years earlier.

The skin cancer Chen Changyou suffered was caused by a small wound he accidentally got while chopping in his home kitchen six years earlier."

Later Mr. Chen Changyou clarified the diagnosis: he was infected with marine discord bacteria, but his condition wasn't as severe as the current patient's. Repeated local inflammation stimulated the skin, causing abnormal changes that led to skin cancer. Zheng Ren said.

Translation: "Later, Mr. Chen Changyou's diagnosis was confirmed: he was infected with marine discord bacteria, but his condition was not as severe as that of the current patient. Repeated local inflammation stimulation led to skin aberration, resulting in skin cancer." Zheng Ren said.
