MYC gene numerical aberrations in actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
British Journal of Dermatology, 08/13/2009

Toll A et al. – MYC gains and amplifications are frequent cytogenetic abnormalities in SCCs and may play a relevant role in promoting SCC undifferentiation and tumoral progression. [more...]

FGFR3 and PIK3CA mutations in stucco keratosis and dermatosis papulosa nigra
British Journal of Dermatology, 10/26/2009

Hafner C et al. – The results indicate that FGFR3 and PIK3CA mutations are involved in the pathogenesis of STK and DPN. The molecular genetic findings furthermore support the concept that both skin lesions are specific variants of seborrhoeic keratosis [more...]

PharmacoEconomics, 08/03/2009

Neidecker MV et al. – Pharmacoeconomic research defining standards, outcomes and areas of efficiencies in the treatment of actinic keratosis is in its infancy. To move towards more comprehensive analysis, research needs to focus [more...]

A positive FGFR3/FOXN1 feedback loop underlies benign skin keratosis versus squamous cell carcinoma formation in humans
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 09/02/2009

Mandinova A et al. – The authors have uncovered a positive regulatory loop between FGFR3 and FOXN1 that underlies a benign versus malignant skin tumor phenotype [more...]

Viral DNA detection and RAS mutations in actinic keratosis and nonmelanoma skin cancers
British Journal of Dermatology, 10/26/2009

Spandidos DA et al. – HPV DNA is detected in NMSC, AK and normal skin biopsies. The authors' results also indicate that CMV is involved in NMSC at higher levels than in premalignant lesions, whereas the [more...]

Should this periocular lesion be biopsied?
JAAPA, 09/11/2009

his medical history had included removal of several basal cell carcinomas...Melanoma is the likely diagnosis, of course, but purpura, seborrheic keratosis, and hemangioma must also be considered among the differential diagnoses. The patient's attitude about undergoing further treatment is [more...]

Seborrhoeic keratoses in patients with internal malignancies: a casecontrol study with prospective accrual of patients
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 10/27/2009

AM et al. – No association was found between seborrhoeic keratoses and cancer. Furthermore, the authors data did not provide support to the validity of the Leser–Trelat sign in patients with internal malignancies. [more...]
