A prospective cohort analysis of residential radon and UV exposures and malignant melanoma mortality in the Swiss population

Exposome and Skin. Part 2. The Influential Role of the Exposome, Beyond UVR, in Actinic Keratosis, Bowen ’s Disease and Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Proposal
AbstractActinic keratosis (AK) is the main risk factor for the development of cutaneous invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It represents the first sign of severe chronic ultraviolet radiation exposure, which has a clear significant effect. Nevertheless, the skin is exposed to many other exposome factors which should be thoroughly considered. Our aim was to assess the impact of exposome factors other than ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on the etiopathology of AK and Bowen ’s disease (BD) and progression of AK to SCC and to design tailored prevention strategies. We performed an exhaustive literature search in September 2...

A hidden cancer success story: declining deaths from melanoma

Is Cancer Research and Treatment Moving From Evolution To Revolution?
Discussion at a meeting of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) held in conjunction with the MD Anderson symposium mentioned above echoed a theme that I truly believe in: we have plenty of money "in the system" already to accomplish what we need to accomplish. How we parcel out that money is the issue. We waste so much, and we are charged so much, for things that don't work or aren't needed that to me it borders on the obscene. If we were more effective and efficient at what we do and how we do it, I firmly believe we could pay for what we need to pay for. As an example, I was asked this week about a recent d...
