For this recent study, a selective literature search was performed by an international expert panel, focusing on the type of sunscreen to recommend for photoaging, skin cancers, photodermatoses, pigmentary disorders and skin inflammatory disorders. The study donclucdes that adapting the formulation and texture of the sunscreen to the type of skin and dermatoses is essential.
This study presents key findings highlighting the design and implementation approaches for a virtual reality health intervention primarily aimed at improving sun protection behaviors. This design approach can be applied to other health prevention programs in the future.
According to this recent study, in more than 2000 melanoma patients from hospital clinics and from the general population, genetically predicted long telomeres were associated with increased mortality, but measured leukocyte telomere length was not.
This review outlines the latest clinical trial data, the current adjuvant treatment landscape and its application to clinical practice, and expected future progress for the management of early stage melanoma.
NK cells are innate immune cells that form one of the initial responses to infections and cancers. This review highlights NK cell biology, NK cell antitumor immunity, NK cell immune evasive mechanisms and novel immunotherapies that aim to target NK cells.
According to this recent study, LATS1 is highly engaged in melanogenesis and oxidative stress control and affects melanoma growth. Study results may find the implications in the diagnosis and treatment of pigmentation disorders, including melanoma.
The authors of this paper review the latest updates for melanoma staging, surgical resection, radiotherapy and systemic therapies.
This recent study reveals just how rapidly melanoma cells can adapt to drug treatment, generating a mutagenesis-prone subpopulation that expands over time.
The findings of this cohort study suggest that a previously implemented structured surveillance programme for people at high risk of melanoma may be implemented on a larger scale, including at primary care skin cancer clinics, with consistent and sustainable benefits observed.
This review discusses the use of cyclodextrins (CDs) inclusion complexes to enhance the aqueous solubility of antioxidants and chemical UV filters and provide a protective shield against degradative factors. The role of CDs in providing a controlled drug release profile from sunscreens is also discussed. Finally, incorporating CDs inclusion complexes into sunscreens has the potential to increase their efficiency and hence improve their skin cancer prevention.
