Summary
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common human cancer, rarely metastasizes due to slow growth. This study observed 180 BCC patients, analyzing histopathology and management strategies.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent human cancer.
- Its slow growth rate contributes to rare instances of metastasis.
- Understanding BCC's characteristics is crucial for effective patient management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present observational data on basal cell carcinoma.
- To detail histopathological findings in BCC cases.
- To analyze diagnostic and therapeutic management of BCC.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective study design.
- Inclusion of 180 patients diagnosed with BCC via histopathology.
- Data collection from surgeries performed between January 2019 and August 2022.
Main Results:
- Focus on observational data regarding BCC.
- Analysis of histopathological features.
- Evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Conclusions:
- Integration of observational data into existing BCC knowledge.
- Contribution to understanding BCC's clinical and pathological aspects.
- Highlighting the importance of histopathological examination and management strategies.

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,...

4.3K
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.

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...
