Pretreatment Found to Reduce Stages of Mohs Surgery for Basal Cell Carcinoma
A retrospective study evaluated the effect of 5% imiquimod prior to Mohs surgery in patients with basal cell carcinoma.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Reflectance Confocal Microscopy vs Biopsy for Diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma
The sensitivity of reflectance confocal microscopy is evaluated in the context of basal cell carcinoma diagnosis.
Increased Incidence of Sebaceous Carcinoma Observed in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Population data was used to assess risk for sebaceous carcinoma and overall patient survival in the transplant population.
Hydrochlorothiazide Exposure May Be Associated With Increased Risk of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
In this study, oral cancer risk was used as a negative control since it is not associated with increased exposure to UV radiation.
ASTRO Issues Recs for Radiation Tx of Basal, Squamous Cell Carcinoma
RT recommended as primary treatment for BCC, cSCC patients who are not surgical candidates.
Does Adhering to the Mediterranean Diet Lower the Risk of Skin Cancer?
Researchers examined whether adhering to the Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of skin cancer. We review their findings.
Link Found Between Skin Cancer Risk and High Polyunsaturated Fat Intake
Using data from the NHS and the HPFS, researchers investigated the association between polyunsaturated fat, cholesterol, and monounsaturated fat intake and risks for SCC, melanoma, and BCC.
Imaging Using FCM Analysis Aids Surgical Removal of Tumors From Eyelid
Current study evaluated reflectance mode, horizontal scanning for removal of eyelid basal cell carcinoma.
Topical Skin Creams Are Effective in Treatment of Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma
Results from a clinical trial indicate that 2 topical creams compared favorably to photodynamic therapy for primary, low-risk superficial basal cell carcinoma.
Proteins May Be Biomarkers for Ominous Change in Basal Cell Carcinoma
Aggressive basal cell skin cancers have higher levels of both EZH2 and Ki67, suggesting these proteins have potential to serve as biomarkers for when basal cell carcinoma has become dangerous.
