... Keratinocyte cancer Non-melanoma skin cancer Basal cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma Keratinocyte cancer (KC), also known as non-melanoma skin cancer, is the most common type of cancer, with almost 1 in 5 Americans diagnosed with KC in their lifetime. KCs comprise both basal cell carcinoma (BCC...

..., and positive predictive values (PPVs) for any skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and melanoma were calculated. Results: A total of 320 individuals (56.9% males; 43.1% females) with a median age of 69.6 (range 21–91) years qualified for the screening initiative...

...: The histopathologic presence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells at one or more margins of the specimen after surgical excision is considered suggestive of incomplete tumor clearance. The management of incompletely excised BCC might vary in different clinical scenarios from re-excision to application of other...

... by review of electronic medical records (EMRs) of SOTR visits which specifically included descriptions of clinical AK. Prevalence of skin cancer, here defined as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (invasive or in situ), or melanoma (invasive or in situ), was determined by EMR...

...Tanja Mesti; Maša Sever; Janja Ocvirk Background: Vismodegib is a first-in-class inhibitor of the hedgehog pathway for treatment of locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) and metastatic BCC. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of patients with laBCC, with basal cell...

...Alexandra Laverde-Saad; Alexe Simard; David Nassim; Abdulhadi Jfri; Ali Alajmi; Elizabeth O’Brien; Ximena Wortsman Advances in ultrasound technology and non-surgical treatments of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) have raised the need to study the performance of high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) in BCCs...

... of the blue color, coexisting colors, and the vascular structures. Results: Of 91 included tumors, 53 were benign (35 blue nevi, 10 angiomas, and 8 seborrheic keratoses) and 38 malignant (12 melanomas and 26 basal cell carcinomas). Our analysis revealed 3 potent dermoscopic predictors of benignity: extension...

...Yen-Jen Wang; Jen-Yu Wang; Yu-Hung Wu Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been shown to provide non-invasive diagnosis of common skin neoplasms, especially basal cell carcinoma. OCT produces a cross-sectional view of the tissue, similar to a traditionally sectioned histopathological...

... to the pretreatment period was observed (1.7 vs. 3.6, –53% p = 0.002). Similar results were noted on analysis by tumor type, for both SCC and basal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: This study of SOTRs demonstrated positive results for low-dose acitretin as a chemoprevention of keratinocyte carcinomas in this population...

... of experience, blinded to the diagnosis and objective of the study. The clinical and dermoscopic diagnostic accuracies were measured separately. Results: A total of 161 histopathologically proven cases of MCT were collected. The most frequent MCT was basal cell carcinoma-seborrheic keratosis collision tumor (CT...

..., basal cell carcinoma, melanoma and other skin cancers after transplantation extracted from the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study database and validated by medical record review. Incidence rates were calculated for skin cancer overall and subgroups. The effect of risk factors on the occurrence of first skin...

...Emily Shao; Adele C. Green; Kyoko Miura Background: Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at increased risk of cutaneous squamous (SCC) and basal cell carcinomas (BCC) due to immunosuppression and sun exposure. Skin carcinogenesis involves inflammation, and foods that promote inflammation may...

...Andrzej Wincewicz; Piotr Woltanowski A fine and fair depiction of basal cell carcinoma is documented with great fidelity in “Caricature” by Bartolomeo Passerotti (1529–1592). The cancer is pearly white and contains an elevated centre with a sharp and somewhat depressed outline due to ulceration...

... < 0.05). Of the 37 (26% of the sample of 146) patients with a previous or current history of skin cancer, it was possible to identify the histological type in 29 (13 men and 16 women); of these, 18 (62%) were basal cell carcinomas (BCC), 15 (51%) were squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), and 2 (7%) were...

... an overlooked disease, whose diagnosis is often missed because of a higher incidence of other cutaneous diseases affecting the same area and usually secondary to chronic actinic damage, such as actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. For the first time, we report a case series...

... in dermoscopy, according to common RCM criteria for the differential diagnosis of BCC, and to identify representative RCM parameters for superficial (sBCCs) and nonsuperficial (nsBCCs) basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Methods: A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients evaluated with RCM, selecting excised...

...Kirtie Ramdas; Charlotte van Lee; Samuel Beck; Patrick Bindels; Vincent Noordhoek Hegt; Luba Pardo; Sarah Versnel; Tamar Nijsten; Renate van den Bos Background: Due to the increasing incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and rising health care costs, health care insurance companies seek ways...

...Mara Lombardi; Riccardo Pampena; Stefania Borsari; Caterina Bombonato; Elisa Benati; Giovanni Pellacani; Caterina Longo Background: Lower limbs represent an uncommon location for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and only few reports have described dermoscopic features of BCC in this body site.
