Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.4K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

15.1K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Metastasis02:30

Metastasis

6.7K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

5.3K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Basal cell carcinoma, the most common human skin tumor, is increasingly diagnosed. Surgical excision is the primary treatment, offering complete histologic assessment and reconstruction, especially by maxillofacial surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent human skin neoplasm.
  • Its incidence is rising, predominantly affecting the face.
  • BCC arises from undifferentiated epithelial cells, exhibiting local invasion but rare metastasis.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the etiology, characteristics, and management of basal cell carcinoma.
  • To emphasize the importance of standardized international nomenclature.
  • To highlight the role of maxillofacial surgeons in BCC treatment.

Summary:

  • Surgery is the principal treatment for BCC, enabling complete histologic evaluation of resection margins.
  • Maxillofacial surgeons are well-suited for BCC resection and reconstruction due to aesthetic and functional considerations.
  • UVB radiation, influenced by genetic factors, is a key etiological agent in BCC development.

Impact:

  • Promotes the adoption of the international term "basal cell carcinoma" over "basalioma".
  • Underscores the significance of surgical expertise in managing this common malignancy.
  • Contributes to understanding BCC's etiology and optimizing patient outcomes.
