Summary: Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are the most common cancers among fair-skinned people. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have an increased risk of developing NMSCs, particularly basal cell carcinoma. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying the relationship between PD and NMSCs.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of skin cancers in lung transplant recipients, finding that age, gender, phototype, and voriconazole use were significant predictors for squamous cell carcinoma development. Male gender and phototype were identified as independent risk factors for basal cell carcinoma.

Summary: The study evaluated the risk of developing a second primary cancer and associated survival times in women diagnosed with cancer in the United States between 1992 and 2017. It found that women with gynecologic cancer may develop non-gynecologic primary cancer, and women with non-gynecologic cancer may also develop gynecologic cancer. The risk and survival time of the second primary cancer depend on the order and site of the index and subsequent cancer.

Summary: The study did not find a relationship between the incidence of melanoma and exposure to arsenic among US adults. Nonmunicipal water sources were associated with nonmelanoma skin cancer and should be further investigated.

Summary: Rural-urban disparities exist in CVD mortality among breast and gynecologic cancer survivors, with those in rural communities facing elevated risk. Neighborhood-level characteristics explained the observed disparities in CVD mortality between rural and urban BGC survivors.

Summary: This study identifies geographic variation in the associations of population demographics, environmental, lifestyle, and healthcare access with breast cancer mortality at the US county-level. The results show that obesity is positively associated with breast cancer mortality, while the proportion of adults screened via mammograms is negatively associated. Additionally, other factors such as smoking, food environment index, exercise opportunities, racial segregation, mental health care physician ratio, and primary care physician ratio are also associated with breast cancer mortality.

Summary: There are currently no guidelines for adjusted evaluation and management practices of keratinocyte cancer in patients with limited life expectancy (LLE) in dermatology. This study found that the biopsy frequency of keratinocyte cancer is similar or increased in patients with LLE compared to age-matched controls, with an increased risk of complications. Further studies are needed to understand the underlying factors driving these practice patterns.

Summary: This study analyzed the SpotMe skin cancer screening program conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology to determine the factors associated with suspected diagnoses of BCC, SCC, DN, and CM. Men, individuals without a regular dermatologist, those reporting recent mole changes, and those with a personal history of melanoma were at increased risk for these suspected diagnoses. Uninsured individuals were also at increased risk for suspected malignancies (BCC, SCC, and CM). These associated factors can be considered in planning outreach and screening for populations at risk for skin cancer.

Summary: The study found that the relative and absolute risk of basal cell carcinoma increased with cumulative ambient UVR exposure, with the highest absolute risk for the head/neck and to a lesser extent, the trunk. Additionally, individuals with Gaelic ancestry had lower relative risks but higher absolute risks.

Summary: Exposure to p-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) is associated with an increased risk of endocrine-related reproductive cancers in women. The study found a significant association between high urinary concentrations of 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP) and these cancers. Further prospective and mechanistic studies are needed to understand the pathogenesis of endocrine-related female cancers potentially associated with p-DCB exposure.

Summary: PD-L1 and PD-1 inhibitors are increasingly used to treat a variety of nonmelanoma skin cancers, but there is insufficient evidence to determine the prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression in NMSCs as a whole. Further investigation is needed to explore the role of tumor PD-L1 as a biomarker for predicting clinical response to PD-L1 and PD-1 inhibitors in NMSCs.

Summary: The incidence of basal cell carcinoma in the Netherlands has doubled over the past two decades. Trends have stabilized in recent years for patients aged under 50, while continuing to rise for those aged 50 and older. Further increases in BCC incidence are expected in the next decade.

Summary: The study demonstrates that high-resolution microscopy coil MRI is an accurate imaging technique for preoperative evaluation of facial nonmelanoma skin cancer. It accurately predicts tumor depth, margins, and involvement of adjacent structures, providing valuable information for surgeons to optimize surgical planning.
