Summary: This study compared the differences in sun exposure, sun protection, and level of worry for cutaneous melanoma between high-incidence and low-incidence provinces in Atlantic Canada, as well as between different demographic groups. The findings identified significant differences across multiple variables, which will help guide future public health efforts in preventing and reducing the incidence of cutaneous melanoma in the communities.

Summary: The rates of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer in the United States have been increasing due to increased ultraviolet radiation exposure. However, skin cancer prevention remains challenging due to the lack of reliable risk assessment methods. There has been significant interest in developing biomarkers for UV exposure in order to improve early detection of skin malignancies.

Summary: This study investigated the association between serum vitamin D levels and non-melanoma skin cancers. Despite all subjects having normal or low levels of vitamin D, it was found that higher vitamin D levels may increase the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between vitamin D and skin cancer risk.

Summary: Non-melanoma skin cancers are common in Caucasians and can be burdensome for healthcare. Solid organ transplant recipients have a higher risk of developing these cancers due to immunosuppressive medication use. Different classes of immunosuppressants have varying effects on the incidence of skin cancers.

Summary: This nationwide population-based cohort study involving 6205 patients with atopic dermatitis found that UV-B phototherapy was not associated with an increased risk of skin cancer, nonmelanoma skin cancer, or cutaneous melanoma in these patients. The number of UV-B phototherapy sessions was also not associated with an increased risk of these skin cancers.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the cumulative incidences of Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)-specific mortality (NMSC-SM) and develop a competing risk nomogram for NMSC-SM. Data on patients diagnosed with NMSC between 2010 and 2015 were extracted from the SEER database. Independent prognostic factors were identified, and a competing risk nomogram was developed to predict the cumulative probabilities of NMSC-SM.

Summary: With the increasing number of renal transplant recipients and improving patient survival, the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer has also risen, leading to greater health and financial burdens. Tailoring immunosuppressants and enhancing sun protection are key strategies in reducing the risks of NMSC.

Summary: Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma are the three main types of nonmelanoma skin cancers. The rates of occurrence and mortality of these cancers have been increasing over time. For radiologists, it is challenging to treat advanced nonmelanoma skin cancer and there is a need for improved diagnostic imaging-based risk stratification and staging methods.

Summary: Citrus products rich in furocoumarins can increase the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer when combined with ultraviolet radiation. This study found that high citrus juice consumption was associated with a higher risk of incident NMSC compared to low consumption, suggesting the need for further research to confirm key risk factors.

Summary: This study utilized the CDC's BRFSS telephone interview survey data to investigate the epidemiology of skin cancer in the US. The findings indicate a significantly higher prevalence of skin cancer in high UV states compared to medium and low UV states. Respondents from high or medium UV states had higher odds of reporting a skin cancer diagnosis than those from low UV states.

Summary: Immunosuppression is a significant risk factor for skin cancer, particularly in solid organ transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapies. These therapies may have effects on both the immune system and proliferative pathways, altering the risk of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer. Dermatologists play a key role in evaluating the specific regimen and assessing the risk for each patient.

Summary: Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the most common cancer among white-skinned people, is associated with ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Previous studies in the past decade have found links between dietary components such as folate, citrus, caffeine, alcohol, and the risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, the inherent limitations of epidemiological studies prevent definitive conclusions.

Summary: Skin malignant growth, especially Malignant Melanoma, is a common and deadly disease. Many lab tests are costly and time-consuming, so developing an automatic smart system for accurate and efficient prediction is important. This study proposes a stacked convolutional neural network (CNN) model that outperforms other models in terms of prediction accuracy.

Summary: An intervention was implemented in Bangladesh during COVID-19 to reduce occupational health risks for waste and sanitation workers. The intervention involved training and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE). The study found that the intervention improved workers' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding PPE usage.

Summary: The European Food Safety Authority's downward revision of the Health-based Guidance Value for bisphenol A (BPA) has led to disagreements with other regulatory agencies, particularly the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment. The differing views between EFSA and BfR are driven by their respective selection of endpoints and study evaluation systems, as well as their acceptance or refusal of immunotoxic effects as a basis for establishing a Health-based Guidance Value.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the exposure of e-waste workers to phthalates and alternative plasticizers. The results showed that e-waste workers had higher urinary concentrations of phthalates and metabolites compared to non-occupationally exposed controls. However, no significant differences were found between pre-and post-shift concentrations in the e-waste workers.
