BACKGROUND Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous sarcoma for which data on risk factors, incidence, and survival are limited. OBJECTIVE The authors sought to establish comprehensive report the incidence of from primary DFSP. METHODS used 18 registries Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program 2000 2010. RESULTS Overall was 4.1 per million person-years steady over decade. Trunk most common anatomic site except in older men. Incidence among women 1.14 times higher...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer in United States. Due to high frequency, BCC occurrences are not typically recorded, and annual rates incidence can only be estimated. Current estimated 2 million Americans affected annually, this continues rise. Exposure radiation, from either sunlight or previous medical therapy, a key player development. as aggressive other cancers because it less likely metastasize. However, surgery radiation prevalent treatment options,...

These Insights focus introduction of a new page locally advanced disease in setting node negative status, entitled “Clinical N0 Disease, Locally Advanced MCC.” This algorithm...
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma and affects an estimated 1,500 people annually in the United States. DFSP frequently exhibits extensive local infiltration. Initial treatment through surgical excision, care should be taken to ensure that negative margins are achieved minimize recurrence. Although has reported high rate of recurrence, metastasis more uncommon. Fibrosarcomatous aggressive variant with increased risk for recurrence metastasis. If...
Knowledge regarding differences in dermatologic care for patients with a broad range of conditions is limited.To elucidate nationwide use outpatient care.Retrospective analysis nationally representative data from the 2007 to 2015 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) provided by Agency Healthcare Research and Quality. Health outcomes (skin cancers, infections, inflammatory conditions/ulcers, other skin disorders) were examined via multivariable logistic regression analyses office-based...
The NCCN Guidelines for Squamous Cell Skin Cancer provide recommendations diagnostic workup, clinical stage, and treatment options patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. panel meets annually to discuss updates the guidelines based on comments from members Institutional Review, as well submissions within external organizations. These Insights focus introduction of a new surgical recommendation terminology (peripheral deep en face margin assessment), recent topical prophylaxis,...
Despite the clear potential benefits of neoadjuvant therapy, optimal regimen for patients with high-risk resectable melanoma (HRRM) is not known.
Longer time from diagnosis to definitive surgery (TTDS) is associated with increased melanoma-specific mortality. Although black patients present later-stage melanoma and have worse survival than non-Hispanic white patients, the association between race TTDS unknown.To investigate racial differences in treatment.Retrospective review of National Cancer Database (2004-2015). Multivariable logistic regression was used evaluate TTDS, controlling for sociodemographic/disease characteristics.Of...
