Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.6K
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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

3.7K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.2K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

610
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm.
  • It predominantly affects adults over 60.
  • Commonly found on the eyelid, head, neck, and trunk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present clinical care recommendations for sebaceous carcinoma.
  • Developed from an expert panel's systematic review evaluation.
  • Covers diagnosis, treatment, radiotherapy, and post-treatment care.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature.
  • Expert panel evaluation of review findings.
  • Development of clinical care guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Deep biopsy is often necessary for accurate diagnosis.
  • Special histological stains aid in excluding mimic diagnoses.
  • Surgical removal with margin assessment is the recommended first-line therapy.
  • Conjunctival mapping biopsies can assist surgical planning.
  • Radiotherapy is considered for nerve/lymph node involvement or unresectable cases.
  • Post-treatment follow-up every 6 months for at least 3 years is advised.

Conclusions:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial.
  • Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment.
  • Ongoing research into targeted therapies and immunotherapies for advanced disease is warranted.
