Skin Cancer

4.9K
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...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.5K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.6K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary cutaneous sarcomas are rare malignant soft tissue tumors originating in the skin's dermal and subcutaneous layers.
  • These tumors exhibit diverse clinical presentations and are distinct from deep soft tissue sarcomas.
  • Most cutaneous sarcomas demonstrate a favorable prognosis compared to their deep-seated counterparts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review rare primary cutaneous sarcomas.
  • To describe the clinical manifestations of these tumors.
  • To outline current management strategies, focusing on surgical excision.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of primary cutaneous sarcomas.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations.
  • Discussion of treatment modalities, particularly surgical excision with margin control.

Main Results:

  • Primary cutaneous sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare skin malignancies.
  • Prognosis is generally favorable, distinguishing them from deep soft tissue sarcomas.
  • Complete surgical excision with adequate margin control is the primary management approach.

Conclusions:

  • Primary cutaneous sarcomas require specific diagnostic and management considerations.
  • Early and complete surgical excision is crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Further research into rare subtypes may refine treatment protocols.
