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...

Burn Injuries

3.2K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

    Area of Science:

    • Oncodermatology
    • Cancer Therapeutics
    • Patient Quality of Life

    Background:

    • Cancer survival rates are increasing, leading to more patients living with cancer.
    • Anticancer treatments often cause cutaneous adverse events (cAEs) that impair quality of life and treatment adherence.
    • The US Cutaneous Oncodermatology Management (USCOM) project aims to enhance patient quality of life through cAE prevention and management tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an evidence-based algorithm for managing cutaneous adverse events (cAEs) in cancer patients.
    • To provide healthcare professionals with tools for preventing, treating, and maintaining skin health during cancer therapy.
    • To support oncology patients and survivors in managing treatment-related skin toxicities.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Delphi approach was employed by a panel of experts.
    • Consensus was reached on statements and an evidence-based algorithm for cAE management.
    • The algorithm integrates general measures and over-the-counter skincare agents.

    Main Results:

    • The USCOM algorithm provides patient and clinician education on cAE prevention, treatment, and maintenance.
    • Recommended skincare includes hygiene, moisturization, and sun protection to mitigate cAEs like erythema, xerosis, pruritus, and photosensitivity.
    • While research on skincare for cAEs is growing, evidence for specific formulations remains limited.

    Conclusions:

    • The algorithm emphasizes general measures and skincare for preventing and reducing cAE severity.
    • Multidisciplinary team awareness of cAEs is crucial for improving cancer patient outcomes.
    • Implementing this skincare-focused algorithm can enhance the management of cancer treatment side effects.
