概括
对于局部皮肤黑色素瘤 (CM),非癌症死亡比癌症死亡更为常见. 然而,与普通人群相比,晚期CM阶段显著增加了因所有原因死亡的风险.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 皮肤黑色素瘤 (CM) 患者的死亡结果,特别是非癌症死亡原因,研究不足.
- 了解与CM相关的全谱死亡风险对于全面的患者护理至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定患有恶性皮肤黑色素瘤的患者中非癌症相关死亡的患病率.
- 通过疾病阶段分层,将CM患者的各种原因死亡风险与美国普通人口进行比较.
主要方法:
- 从SEER数据库中利用了2000-2019年间诊断为CM的224,624名美国患者的数据.
- 根据诊断时的黑色素瘤阶段对患者进行分层,并计算出不同死亡原因的标准化死亡率 (SMR).
- 对比死亡风险与美国一般人口,以评估相对风险.
主要成果:
- 总死亡人数为60,110人 (26.8%);死亡率随着黑色素瘤阶段的增加而增加,远程疾病的死亡率达到80%.
- 在局部CM中,非癌症原因 (60.5%) 在黑色素瘤死亡 (25.8%) 上占主导地位.
- 在区域和远程阶段,黑色素瘤是导致死亡的主要原因. 心血管和脑血管疾病是最常见的非癌症原因. 局部化CM与普通人群相比没有增加非癌症死亡风险,与具有显著更高风险的区域/远程阶段不同.
结论:
- 非癌症原因是局部皮肤黑色素瘤死亡率的重要因素.
- 与一般人群相比,晚期皮肤黑色素瘤与因癌症和非癌症原因死亡的风险显著增加有关.
- 心血管和脑血管疾病代表了所有阶段的黑色素瘤患者的主要非癌症死亡风险.

Skin Cancer
4.2K
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.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

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...

Pigmentation
2.5K
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

Kaplan-Meier Approach
195
The Kaplan-Meier estimator is a non-parametric method used to estimate the survival function from time-to-event data. In medical research, it is frequently employed to measure the proportion of patients surviving for a certain period after treatment. This estimator is fundamental in analyzing time-to-event data, making it indispensable in clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and reliability engineering. By estimating survival probabilities, researchers can evaluate treatment effectiveness,...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives
2.0K
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...

Cancer Survival Analysis
402
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
