Patients at risk of skin cancers can develop varying types of cutaneous malignancies. However, some subjects may develop only one type of lesion. In this cross-sectional study, the spectrum of premalignant (PM) and malignant skin lesions and their risk factors were studied.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) often follows actinic keratosis (AK) and is the second most common skin cancer worldwide. To reduce metastasis risk, it is important to diagnose and treat cSCC early. This study aimed to identify hub genes associated with cSCC and AK.

: Inhibitors of mutant BRAF are emerging as standard of care in patients with metastatic melanoma who carry relevant oncogenic mutations. However, BRAF inhibitors are found to induce cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cuSCC). Population-based background rates of cuSCC and non-cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (non-cuSCC) in the metastatic melanoma population may contextualize safety signals from randomized clinical trials or the clinics.

To see the world as a web of information is a recent view. Humanity has contemplated the source and character of our knowledge since the dawn of time, but the present technologically oriented civilization demands a more concrete concept. Knowledge has been replaced by information. The information has to be carried by physical objects, and these are described by the theories of physics. Thus, we have to develop a theory for information coded in physical objects. Long ago, scientists developed formal descriptions of classical information transfer and its manipulation.

The overall approach to learning medicine can be summed up in two questions: What is it? What do you do for it? The goal is to have a concise review that is readable and easy to follow with algorithms, diagrams, radiographs, and pathologic findings. This book is divided into subspecialty topics, each chapter written by an author(s) with clinical expertise in the designated topic. Images and tables are provided. Each chapter has bulleted items that highlight key points. These may be summary points from previous paragraphs or new points. Bulleted items also address typical clinical scenarios.

Actinic keratosis, also known as solar keratosis, is a pre-cancerous skin condition caused by too much exposure to the sun. Actinic keratoses are usually small (less than 1/4 inch across), rough or scaly spots that may be pink-red or flesh-colored. Usually they develop on the face, ears, backs of the hands, and arms of middle-aged or older people with fair skin, although they can arise on other sun-exposed areas. People with one actinic keratosis usually develop many more. Actinic keratoses tend to grow slowly. They usually do not cause any symptoms.
