Skin Cancer

3.4K
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.7K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology

Background:

  • Melanoma incidence is increasing globally.
  • Melanoma represents approximately 30% of cancers diagnosed in pregnant women.
  • Current management strategies for pregnant women with melanoma lack international consensus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on melanoma in pregnancy.
  • To propose a management strategy for pregnant women diagnosed with melanoma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies and guidelines.
  • Synthesis of current evidence regarding melanoma diagnosis and treatment during pregnancy.
  • Development of a proposed management algorithm.

Main Results:

  • Changes in moles during pregnancy require prompt evaluation, similar to non-pregnant individuals.
  • Specific considerations for melanoma management during pregnancy are highlighted.
  • A comprehensive strategy addressing diagnosis and treatment is outlined.

Conclusions:

  • Timely diagnosis and evaluation of suspicious moles are crucial in pregnant women.
  • Standardized management protocols are needed to address uncertainties in treating pregnant melanoma patients.
  • The proposed strategy aims to guide clinical decision-making for melanoma in pregnancy.
