Although non-melanoma skin cancers are the most predominant malignancies in the Caucasian population and hemophilia A is one of the most frequent hereditary bleeding disorders, medical literature data about the management of non-melanoma skin cancers in patients with hemophilia are surprisingly scarce. In this case report we describe the treatment of a patient with multiple recurrent non-melano...

Skin cancer remains the most common cancer worldwide, and basal cell carcinoma represents the largest portion of non-melanomatous skin cancers with over 3 million cases diagnosed annually. Locally advanced disease is frequently seen in the elderly posing clinical challenges regarding proper treatment.We report on an 86-year-old female presenting with fatigue, anemia and a large ulcerated skin l...

Globally, leukemia and skin cancers are the most common types of cancers. However, current measures (radiation, chemotherapy, etc.) cannot exercise high accuracy when targeting such tumors cancers, causing extensive damage to surrounding tissue leading adverse effects commonly associated with treatments as chemotherapy. Magnetic drug delivery applies anticancer nanoparticles a component vehicle...

Inadequate dietary Zn consumption increases susceptibility to esophageal and other cancers in humans and model organisms. Since Zn supplementation can prevent cancers in rodent squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) models, we were interested in determining if it could have a preventive effect in a rodent skin cancer model, as a preclinical basis for considering a role for Zn in prevention of human nonm...

To obtain quantitative information on the risk of invasive cancers following a diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin, patients with incident BCC cases listed in the cancer registries of the Swiss cantons of Vaud and Neuchâtel between 1974 and 1994 were actively followed up through December 31, 1994, for the occurrence of subsequent invasive neoplasms. Among 11,878 persons with inc...

Epithelial cancers, including those of the skin and cervix, are the most common type of cancers in humans. Many recent studies have attempted to use Raman spectroscopy to diagnose these cancers. In this paper, Raman spectral markers related to the temporal and spatial effects of cervical and skin cancers are examined through four separate but related studies. Results from a clinical cervix stud...
