In this recent study, the therapeutic potential of β,β-dimethylacrylshikonin (DMAS) was investigated on melanoma. It showed that BRAF as well as NRAS-mutated metastatic human melanoma cell lines were treated successfully in vitro and in vivo.
This case study looks at treatment for patients with unresectable metastatic melanoma who develop pembrolizumab-induced Guillain-Barré toxicity.
This study suggests that a successful T-cell-mediated, antitumour response can be present in primary melanomas.
According to this recent study, greenhouse workers may be exposed to risks associated with UV radiation in skin and eyes, despite being under a cover while working.
This recent study suggests that active ingredients in sunscreens are safe for humans and the environment.
Results of this recent study demonstrate the potential of a dermatological acquisition system based on hyperspectral (HS) imaging to perform faster and more accurate diagnosis.
According to this recent study, predispositional genetic testing for melanoma was associated with reported changes to plans for and discussions about sun protection, and high levels of parent-child collaboration to implement child sun protection.
Results of this recent study indicate that tertiary lymphoid structures have a key role in the immune microenvironment in melanoma, by conferring distinct T cell phenotypes. Therapeutic strategies to induce the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures should be explored to improve responses to cancer immunotherapy.
This recent study shows a promising role for environmental components, such as shade and free provision of sunscreen, in skin cancer prevention interventions for children and adolescents.
The Health Promotion Agency has refreshed their skin cancer prevention campaign, '#Dumbburn', which encourages young people to avoid getting sunburnt. It will run through until the end of February 2020.
