Purpose Sunlight is the principal environmental risk factor for cutaneous melanoma. A current hypothesis postulates that role of sunlight in causing melanoma differs according to anatomic site. We tested this a population-based case-case comparative study patients. Methods Patients were sampled from Queensland cancer registry three groups: superficial spreading or nodular melanomas trunk (n = 154), head and neck (HN; n 76), lentigo maligna (LM) (LMM; both LM LMM, 76). Data collected on...
The prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck cancers is increasing, but the oral HPV infection in wider community remains unknown. We sought to determine of, identify risk factors for, a sample young, healthy Australians. For this study, we recruited 307 Australian university students (18-35 years). Participants reported anonymously about basic characteristics, sexual behaviour, alcohol, tobacco illicit drugs use. collected rinse samples from all participants for...
Cutaneous melanomas have been hypothesized to arise through different pathways according phenotype, body site, and sun exposure. To further test this hypothesis, we explored associations between phenotype melanoma at sites using a case-case comparative approach.Melanoma patients (n = 762) aged 18 79 years diagnosed from 2007 2010 were ascertained pathology laboratories in Brisbane, Australia. Patients reported phenotypic information dermatologist counted melanocytic nevi solar keratoses. We...
Cutaneous melanomas are postulated to arise through at least two causal pathways, namely the "chronic sun exposure" and "nevus" pathways. While chronic exposure probably causes many head/neck melanomas, its role other sites is unclear. In a population-based, case-case comparison study conducted in Brisbane, Australia, we determined prevalence epidemiologic correlates of solar damage skin adjacent invasive, incident on trunk (n = 418) or 92) among patients aged 18-79 2007-2010. Participants...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) have a high risk of skin cancer, and excessive sun exposure is major contributing factor. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To document the prevalence protection associated factors in OTRs Queensland, Australia. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Cross-sectional study frequency wearing hats, long sleeves using sunscreens among with regular use. Adjusted ratios (PRs) 95% confidence...
Lung transplant recipients are at high risk of skin cancer, but precise annual incidence rates treated cancers per patient unknown.To perform a prospective assessment the total burden histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal (BCC) associated factors in lung recipients.A population-based cohort 125 Queensland aged 18 years over, recruited between 2013 2015, were followed to end 2016. All underwent dermatological examinations baseline annually thereafter patients...
Various treatments of keratotic skin lesions and early cancers are performed in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) at high risk malignancies but the frequency their use is unknown. We prospectively assessed cryotherapy, diathermy, topical therapies also investigated associations with background incidence histologically-confirmed squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) basal cell (BCC) a cohort OTRs Queensland, Australia. Median follow-up ranged from 1.7 to 3.2 years across groups. Among 285 kidney,...
