Frequency of malignant skin tumors in renal transplant recipients in Imam Reza hospital of Mashhad, Iran
Background: The higher frequency of malignant skin tumors is of great significance in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) who should receive immunosuppressive therapy for a long time. This study was designed to determine the frequency of malignant skin tumors in RTRs in Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, in 2001-2002.Method: This descriptive study was performed on 322 recipients who were examine...
متن کاملScreening and early detection of skin cancer.
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. US incidence of malignant melanoma is increasing faster than any other type of cancer. To minimize increasing morbidity and mortality rates, it is imperative that appropriate screening and early detection of skin cancer become more widespread. All physicians who see patients clinically have the potential for detecting skin canc...

متن کاملPosition statement - Screening and early detection of skin cancer
• Survival from melanoma is strongly associated with depth of invasion; deeper and thicker melanomas are more likely to metastasise and be more difficult to treat. Thus, early detection is important. • Population-based screening, however, is not recommended for melanoma or other skin cancers, due to insufficient evidence that it reduces mortality. • The majority of melanomas are detected by pat...
متن کاملComputer-assisted analysis of epiluminescence microscopy images of pigmented skin lesions.
BACKGROUND Epiluminescence microscopy (ELM) is a noninvasive clinical tool recently developed for the diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions (PSLs), with the aim of improving melanoma screening strategies. However, the complexity of the ELM grading protocol means that considerable expertise is required for differential diagnosis. In this paper we propose a computer-based tool able to screen ELM im...
