Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

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...

Tumor Progression

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oncology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Primary orbital melanoma (POM) is an exceptionally rare orbital malignancy.
Often associated with melanin lesions like congenital ocular melanocytosis and blue nevi.
Progressive, painless proptosis is the most frequent clinical presentation.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review the research progress on primary orbital melanoma.
To cover pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment options.
To offer insights for future research on this rare malignancy.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review.
Analysis of diagnostic modalities including MRI and pathology.
Review of current treatment strategies.

Main Results:

POM diagnosis presents challenges.
MRI offers characteristic findings for POM diagnosis.
Pathology remains the gold standard for diagnosis.
Surgery is the primary treatment modality.
Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy are potential treatment considerations.

Conclusions:

Primary orbital melanoma requires a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
Multimodal treatment strategies, including surgery and adjuvant therapies, are crucial.
Further research is needed to improve understanding and management of POM.
