Melanoma mortality following skin cancer screening in Germany
OBJECTIVES In 2003, a skin cancer screening campaign based on total body skin examination was launched in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. 20% of adults aged 20 and over were screened. In 2008, a 48% decline in melanoma mortality was reported. In the same year, skin screening was extended to the rest of Germany. We evaluated whether melanoma mortality trends decreased in German...
متن کاملSkin cancer screening focusing on melanoma yields more selective attendance.
BACKGROUND Screening theoretically reduces death and morbidity from malignant melanoma. The rationale of screening for nonmelanoma skin cancer is more debatable, since mortality is very low. METHODS We organized a screening campaign in Southern Limburg, the Netherlands, in 1993. Press releases and public announcements referred only to melanoma. The results were compared with similar campaigns...
متن کاملNon-melanoma skin cancer diagnosis with a convolutional neural network
Background: The most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). AKIEC -Actinic keratoses (Solar keratoses) and intraepithelial carcinoma (Bowen’s disease)- are common non-invasive precursors of SCC, which may progress to invasive SCC, if left untreated. Due to the importance of early detection in cancer treatment, this study aimed...
متن کاملAssociation of HDAC8 Expression with Pathological Findings in Triple Negative and Non-Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Implications for Diagnosis
Background: Previous data have shown the tumorigenicity roles of HDAC8 in breast cancer. More recently, the oncogenic effects of this molecule have been revealed in TNBC. The present study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of HDAC8 for the differentiation of TNBC from nTNBC tumors. Methods: A total of 50 cancerous and normal adjacent tumor specimens were obtained, and the clinical and pat...

While the colloquially called “white skin cancer” describes rather harmless changes of the skin, the “black skin” cancer is feared.
