Patterns and cost of care according to keratinocyte cancer risk stratification in a volunteer population screening clinic: Real-world data from the TRoPICS study
CONCLUSIONS: We observed a positive association between higher predicted risk of skin cancer and the prescription of chemoprophylaxis and health-care costs involved with opportunistic community skin cancer screening. A clinical use of risk stratification may be to provide an opportunity for clinicians to discuss skin cancer prevention and chemoprophylaxis with individual patients.PMID:37092598 | DOI:10.1111/ajd.14054

Advances in conjunctival melanoma: clinical features, diagnostic modalities, staging, genetic markers, and management
Can J Ophthalmol. 2023 Mar 12:S0008-4182(23)00043-1. doi: 10.1016/j.jcjo.2023.02.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConjunctival melanoma, a rare malignancy of the ocular surface, is increasing in incidence. When small, straightforward excision with "no touch" surgery and cryotherapy at an experienced centre can provide excellent outcomes. When advanced, management is more complex and highly individualized. The risk of metastatic disease from conjunctival melanoma is as high as 30% and depends on tumour origin, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification, biomarkers, and perhaps most important, management tech...

Previous therapy and the recurrence rate of basal cell carcinoma after Mohs surgery: a meta-analysis
This study aimed to examine how preoperative treatment before MMS affects the recurrence rate after surgery. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the recurrence rates of primary BCC and previously treated BCC in patients undergoing MMS, with a 5-year follow-up. The secondary outcomes were the recurrence rate after MMS based on previous radiation therapy status, mean time to recurrence, and number of cases undergoing more than one stage of MMS. The recurrence rate in the previously treated group was 2.44 times greater than that of the primary BCC group. In the previous treatment group, the patients who underwent previous...

Treatment of actinic keratosis: a systematic review
Arch Dermatol Res. 2022 Dec 1. doi: 10.1007/s00403-022-02490-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTreatment of actinic keratoses (AKs) can help lower the risk of eventual skin cancer and address field pre-cancerization. This review compares the different therapeutic options for actinic keratosis. Databases used include Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library from inception to December 2019. Randomized control trials that were related to any approved or recognized treatment for actinic keratosis were included. 1186 studies were found, of which 80 with 6748 patients were included in the analysis. A network meta-...

Anti-PD1 Agents in the Treatment of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Skinmed. 2022 Oct 31;20(4):338-342. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTCutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer and accounts for approximately 25% of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC). Although the majority of cutaneous SCC lesions have been treated successfully by surgical excision, cryotherapy, electrodessication, or Mohs micrographic surgery, some locally advanced SCC patients are either inoperable, have been metastasized, or both. In such patients, treatment is more challenging due to limited options. We reviewed the literature to describe the mechanism of anti-PD1 agents in cancer ther...
