BACKGROUND Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer and has potential for regional or distant metastasis. Despite standardization features associated with high-risk cSCC, an advanced subset there no established consensus regarding proper management this tumor. OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficacy cetuximab, add to existing options, aid in development standardized treatment MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records were searched using Current Procedural...
BACKGROUND The single most important prognostic indicator for mortality in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the development of nodal metastasis (NM). OBJECTIVE To characterize risk factors and clinical course SCC NM. METHODS Ten-year retrospective cohort study (2006–2017) at an academic tertiary care center reviewing 53 tumors RESULTS Most were men (84.6%, 44/52), almost all primary on head neck (96.2%, 51/53). characterized by known “high-risk features” including...
Phenazopyridine is considered one of the classic causes drug-induced methemoglobinemia. It often taught as such and seen in board review courses. Nevertheless, epidemiology unknown, presentation quite rare, less than five cases have been reported PubMed over 35 years.1-4 We present a case with different set patient characteristics few recent reports, an approach to treatment that validates further uniqueness, justifying reporting literature. In particular, was young otherwise-healthy adult,...
This study examines the underuse of sentinel lymph node biopsy in management high-risk squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Dermatologic procedures require a detailed understanding of surface anatomy to avoid complications. The head and neck region has prominent danger zones including nerves vasculature that may be at risk during cutaneous surgery. A thorough these can help complications lead functional or cosmetic impairment. METHODS anatomic literature regarding the course high-risk structures was reviewed. Structures deemed dermatologic were included in analysis. final analysis focused on branches...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients with SCC have a higher prevalence hypothyroidism than general US population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed seen at University Southern California SCC. Chart presence and thyroid replacement therapy before diagnosis each patient.
