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...

The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

4.5K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

393
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

The Bronchial Tree01:23

The Bronchial Tree

5.6K
The human bronchi and bronchial tree play a crucial role in the respiratory system, facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Let's delve into the intricate structure and functions of these respiratory components.
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pulmonology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Malignant melanoma rarely metastasizes to the endobronchial tissue.
  • Endobronchial melanoma presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity.

Observation:

  • A case of endobronchial malignant melanoma is presented in a 36-year-old male smoker with a regressed primary cutaneous lesion.
  • The patient had a history of smoking and a previously resolved skin melanoma.

Findings:

  • Limited documented cases and a poor survival rate characterize endobronchial melanoma.
  • No definitive treatment strategies are established for improving survival in patients with this rare condition.

Implications:

  • Further research is crucial to establish effective treatment protocols for endobronchial melanoma.
  • The roles of immunotherapy and surgical resection in managing endobronchial metastases require further investigation.
