The risk of subsequent primary cancers after a diagnosis cutaneous Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is not well established.
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer with a 40% recurrence rate, lacking effective prognostic biomarkers and surveillance methods. This prospective, multicenter, observational study aimed to evaluate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as biomarker for detecting MCC recurrence.
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare, difficult to treat papulosquamous disorder that responds variably retinoids and immunosuppression. Successful use of biologics for treating PRP has been described in the literature by case reports limited number series. To provide additional data, we retrospectively analyzed cases treated with at our institution. We identified seven patients clear diagnosis adalimumab, etanercept, and/or ustekinumab institution from January 1, 2014 April 2017. Six...
In the present study, we investigated anticancer effects of mitochondrial inhibitors, metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), metformin and phenformin. 131I-MIBG has been used for scintigraphic detection targeted radiotherapy neuroblastoma (NB), a pediatric malignancy. Non-radiolabeled MIBG reported to be cytotoxic NB cells in vitro vivo. However, mechanisms behind its growth suppressive have not yet fully elucidated. Metformin phenformin are diabetes medications that being considered therapeutics....
Characterizing Disease Features and Other Medical Diagnoses in Patients With Pityriasis Rubra PilarisPityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare papulosquamous disorder that normally manifests with hyperkeratotic follicularbased papules, scaling erythematous plaques areas of sparing, palmoplantar keratoderma. 1 Considerable heterogeneity exists the clinical features PRP.Not all patients experience progression to erythroderma, PRP sometimes associated seronegative arthritis. 1,2 The prevalence...

Chronic skin ulcers in patients with suspected pyoderma gangrenosum can, on closer inspection and further workup, have a different cause. Recognition of key features clinical examination such as the presence atrophie blanche is to avoid misdiagnosis its subsequent treatment high-dose corticosteroids other immunosuppressive medications.
