Mutations

Mutations are changes in the sequence of DNA. These changes can occur spontaneously or they can be induced by exposure to environmental factors. Mutations can be characterized in a number of different ways: whether and how they alter the amino acid sequence of the protein, whether they occur over a small or large area of DNA, and whether they occur in somatic cells or germline cells.

Radiation: Applications01:17

Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...
Skin Cancer01:30

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...

    Summary

    Few dermatology programs use conventional x-ray therapy or grenz ray therapy, despite referrals to radiologists. Many programs deem radiation therapy unnecessary, indicating a need to integrate it into dermatology training.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Dermatologic training programs in the US and Canada were surveyed.
    • Current practices regarding radiation therapy in dermatology education were assessed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the integration of conventional x-ray therapy and grenz ray therapy in dermatology residency programs.
    • To determine the perceived necessity and desirability of radiation therapy within these programs.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to dermatologic training centers in the United States and Canada.
    • Data on the utilization of x-ray and grenz ray therapy, as well as attitudes towards radiation therapy, were collected.

    Main Results:

    • Only 12% of centers use conventional x-ray therapy, and 15% use grenz ray therapy.

    Published on: October 6, 2023

  • Half of the surveyed programs consider radiation therapy unnecessary or undesirable for routine use.
  • Many programs frequently refer patients to radiologists.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radiation therapy is underutilized in current dermatology training programs.
    • There is a need to re-evaluate and ensure radiation therapy's appropriate role in the dermatologic armamentarium.
