The Use of the Video, “Dear 16-Year-Old Me,” as a Melanoma Education Tool in Ambulatory Dermatology
BACKGROUND Skin cancer continues to be the most common cancer in the United States. The rise of social media platforms and internet use offers an opportunity to present health information through video-based education. The video “Dear 16-Year-OldMe,” addresses the risks associated with tanning and sun exposure, the importance of practicing sun protection, and shares stories from melanoma survivors.

Expression of p16 < sup > INK4a < /sup > in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma from a tertiary cancer centre of South India: A preliminary study
CONCLUSIONS: The p16 positive OPSCC cases constituted a small proportion in the present study and behaved similar to p16 negative cases. Usage of tobacco and alcohol appear to be the susceptible factors even in p16 positive cases. More studies from other States would be helpful to determine if HPV-related SCC in the Indian subcontinent behave differently or similarly to cases from Western countries.PMID:35345076 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_386_19

A Systematic Review of Training to Improve Melanoma Diagnostic Skills in General Practitioners
Abstract Australia has the highest incidence of melanoma in the world. General practitioners encounter melanoma in 9.9 per 10,000 clinical encounters and play a key role in diagnosis. A systematic review was conducted to study the efficacy of training methods to improve general practitioners’ diagnostic skills in melanoma. Article abstracts (1307) were screened, from a Medline search. Four trials met our criteria and were highly variable in their intervention methods and outcome measures. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess study quality with only one good, one poor, and two of questionable quality...

Histomolecular structural aspects of high endothelial vessels in lymph node and its significance in oral cancer and metastasis
Chandrasekar Poosarla, Arvind Babu Rajendra Santosh, Swetha Gudiseva, Indira Meda, Venkat Ramana Reddy BaddamNorth American Journal of Medical Sciences 2015 7(12):540-546Molecular cancer research studies focus on identifying diagnostic, screening, and metastatic indicators, and monitoring therapeutic responses. Migration of tumor cells and lymphocytes are important aspects in metastasis. High endothelial vessels are specialized histological structures identified in the blood vessels in lymphoid organs, which allow the migration of lymphocytes. In the recent decades, the role of high endothelial vessels is being addressed i...

Use of Smartphones for Early Detection of Melanoma: Systematic Review
Conclusions: The use of store-and-forward teledermatology could improve access to a dermatology consultation by optimizing the care course. Our review confirmed the absence of evidence of the safety and efficacy of automated smartphone medical apps. Further research is required to determine quality criteria, as there was major variability among the studies.

Web search data as health data? : Geographic differences, temporal trends, and topics of interest from internet search engine analyses in Germany
CONCLUSION: Web search data, given the limitations noted, are able to directly provide spatiotemporal mapping regarding the needs of the Internet-using population. They are particularly useful in situations where traditional health data are limited or unavailable.PMID:34812913 | PMC:PMC8609262 | DOI:10.1007/s00105-021-04918-x

Cancers, Vol. 14, Pages 2836: Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Clearance after Medical Treatment Detected with Noninvasive Skin Imaging: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Routine clinical examination and dermoscopy underperform when employed for NMSC clearance monitoring, although they represent the first approach to the patient. OCT and RCM seem to improve the detection of persistent BCC after medical treatment.

Sensitivity and Specificity for Skin Cancer Diagnosis in Primary Care Providers: a Systematic Literature Review and Meta-analysis of Educational Interventions and Diagnostic Algorithms
Conclusions and RelevanceOverall, this systematic review and meta-analysis showed that dermoscopy training in PCPs was generally associated with gains in skin cancer sensitivity without loss of specificity. Clinically, this correlates with fewer skin cancers overlooked by PCPs and fewer excisions of benign lesions.

One Website to Gather them All: Usability Testing of the New German SKin Cancer INFOrmation (SKINFO) Website —A Mixed-methods Approach
AbstractSkin cancer patients increasingly search the internet to acquire disease-related information. However, information on the internet may be misleading. Recently, SKINFO has been launched, a website exclusively created for German-speaking skin cancer patients providing information as well as additional resources of verified quality. Here, we describe the results of the first usability test of SKINFO using a mixed-methods approach. Ten adult patients with skin cancer were recruited for usability testing in the skin cancer units of the University Hospitals of Erlangen and Dresden, Germany. Testing consisted of three dif...
