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...

Nose and Nasal Cavity

8.7K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Sinonasal malignant mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare cancer with poor survival. Endoscopic resection may improve outcomes, while radiotherapy showed no benefit in a recent study.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Sinonasal malignant mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare and aggressive malignancy.
  • SNMM accounts for approximately 4% of sinonasal cancers, with a historically poor prognosis and low 5-year survival rates around 25%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze survival and recurrence data for sinonasal malignant mucosal melanoma (SNMM) patients treated surgically.
  • To evaluate the impact of endoscopic resection versus traditional surgery and the role of radiotherapy on outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A single-centre prospective cohort study of 125 patients with SNMM treated surgically, with or without radiotherapy.
  • Analysis of overall survival, disease-free survival, local control, and disease control rates.

Main Results:

  • Five-year overall survival was 28% and disease-free survival was 23.7%.
  • Endoscopic resection demonstrated a significant overall survival advantage up to 5 years compared to other methods.
  • Radiotherapy did not improve local control or survival; cervical metastases significantly worsened outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic resection of SNMM is a viable and potentially beneficial treatment modality.
  • Current evidence suggests radiotherapy may not improve outcomes for SNMM, but further research is needed.
  • Emerging treatments like immunotherapy show promise for managing this challenging cancer.
