UV, Sex, and Age Contribute to Melanoma Tumor Evolution
New tools examine the rate of mutation accumulation in melanoma, and the effect of sex and age on tumor development.
A Case of Unremitting Back Pain Following Kidney Stones
Right-sided flank pain has been present for several months and occurs when standing, bending, and lifting—pain only improves when laying down.
Melanoma Risk and Biologic Therapy: Is There a Link?
Because the TNF-α pathway plays a critical role in tumor surveillance, there is concern that inhibition of this pathway could predispose patients to certain malignancies.
Vitamin D Plasma Level Variations in Adults With vs Without Sunscreen
Variation in plasma levels of vitamin D with the use of sunscreen in adults exposed to the sun was similar to that of adults exposed without sunscreen.
Men With Melanoma Have Worse Survival Rates Than Women
Awareness of poorer survival in men with melanoma — and prevention — might lead to lower incidence and mortality.
New Consensus Recommendations on Noninvasive Melanoma Detection Techniques
Recommendations for the appropriate use of non-invasive techniques for facilitating melanoma detection have been generated by a committee of dermato-oncologists.
Non-melanoma Skin Cancers Are Less Likely to be Treated in Elderly Patients
Unlike previous studies, the researchers found that in their practice, no-treatment rates between elderly and nonelderly patients with biopsy-proven NMSCs were significantly different.
Melanoma Survivors Often Have Poor Sun Protection Behaviors
One in five melanoma survivors had suffered a sunburn in the past year, researchers find.
