Allergies and Atopic Dermatitis in Relation to Skin Cancer
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that allergies and atopy may influence risk of early onset BCC and SCC, and that effects may be gender specific.
Impact: A deeper understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying allergies and atopy may provide new routes of preventing keratinocyte cancers. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 24(4); 749–54. ©2015 AACR.

Use of specific immunotherapy – a survey of 15,164 employed persons in Germany
ConclusionsAlthough about one‐quarter of respondents reported allergies that might benefit from SIT, less than one‐third had undergone treatment. The main reason was having mild symptoms; guideline or healthcare‐related issues were responsible only to a limited extent.

Equine Dermatology
The last issue of Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice dedicated to dermatology was published in 1995. At that time, there were relatively few literature resources dedicated to the dermatologic diseases of horses. Since then, interest and expertise in equine dermatology has continued to grow. There are now several textbooks that provide excellent coverage of what has become a very lengthy list of equine dermatologic diseases. In this issue, we have not chosen to re-create a “mini” textbook. We have instead chosen to highlight a number of diseases or clinical presentations that we feel are clinically rel...

Systemic glucocorticoid use and early-onset basal cell carcinoma
Immunosuppressive medications are common in the management of numerous conditions, such as organ transplantation, allergies, and respiratory disorders [1]. In some patients with conditions, such as organ transplantation, that require long-term high-dose immunosuppression, immunosuppressives increase risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCC; 60- to 250-fold increase), and to a lesser extent for basal cell carcinoma (BCC; 10-fold increase) [2–10]. An increased risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) has also been associated with immunosuppressives among rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease patients [11–13].
