Diagnosis & Disease Information
Melanoma
Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, and the most deadly. It begins in the melanocytes, but may also begin in a mole or in other pigmented tissues, such as the eye. It is estimated that there will be 76,250 new cases of melanoma in the U.S. this year. The number of deaths…
Advanced BRAF V600E melanoma responds to dabrafenib
Significantly improved progression-free survival is evident with dabrafenib compared to treatment with dacarbazine.
The significance of stress: Early childhood experiences can influence recurrence of BCC
New research shows that poor parental relationships can have a lasting impact on cancer risk.
Accuracy of melanoma detection up in specialized clinics
From 1998 to 2007, the accuracy of melanoma detection improved only in specialized clinics.
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte grade IDs melanoma survival
TIL is an independent predictor of sentinel lymph node status and survival in cutaneous melanoma.
Melanoma: Causes and Prevention
Melanoma is one of the fastest growing cancers, but it can be prevented. Patients can use these tips to decrease the risk of skin cancer.
Vismodegib has antitumor activity in basal cell carcinoma
The hedgehog pathway inhibitor prevents and treats BCC in patients with basal cell nevus syndrome.
Experimental drug shrinks melanoma tumors
Dabrafenib, which targets a genetic mutation that is active in half of melanoma cases, substantially and safely shrank metastatic tumors.
Weight and inactivity impact cancer rates
Overall US cancer death rates have continued to decline since the early 1990s, but excess weight and lack of sufficient activity contribute to the increased incidence of many cancers.
