Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

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...
Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular cells,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser resurfacing can improve skin but carries a rare risk. Rapid squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) developed in one patient post-treatment, highlighting the need for careful consideration and monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Laser Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser resurfacing is a common cosmetic procedure for wrinkles, scars, and photodamaged skin.
  • It is also used for treating precancerous and benign skin lesions, including pigmented lesions.

Observation:

  • A case study involving a 68-year-old male patient is presented.
  • The patient developed rapid squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the areas treated with CO(2) laser resurfacing.

Findings:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) emerged just three weeks after CO(2) laser resurfacing.
  • This rapid occurrence of SCC is identified as a rare complication associated with the procedure.

Implications:

  • CO(2) laser resurfacing should be carefully considered following the surgical excision of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
  • Vigilant surveillance for cancer recurrence is recommended in patients who have undergone CO(2) laser resurfacing, especially after SCC treatment.
  • Further research is warranted to understand and mitigate this rare complication.
