چکیده

background:non-melanoma skin cancer (nmsc), the most prevalent types being squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc), is the most common type of malignancy in human beings. these neoplasms are more frequent in the elderly and fair skinned people and mainly occur on sun-exposed sites of the body. ultraviolet b (uvb) has a well-known effect in induction and promotion of growth of these cancers. the p53 tumor suppressor gene is believed to be an early target in uv-induced skin carcinogenesis. aggregates of keratinocytes with p53 protein overexpression are frequently identified in normal human skin and are more prevalent in chronically sun-exposed skin, and have been proposed to play a role in skin cancer pathogenesis. the aim of this study was to clarify the potential role of p53 in the development of nmsc. methods: immunohistochemical evaluation of p53 expression in peri-lesional skin of 90 cases of scc, bcc and melanocytic nevi was performed. results: the well-delineated compact type of p53 clone, but not the strong dispersed type, was significantly more predominant in sccs in comparison with bccs and melanocytic nevi (p value=0.001). the size of p53 clones was also significantly greater in sccs compared to the bccs (p=0.003) and melanocytic nevi (p=0.001). there was no significant difference between these neoplasms regarding the frequency of p53 clones (p=0.86). conclusion: this study suggests the possible relationship of epidermal p53 clones with the pathogenesis of scc.

The Usefulness of CD10 in Distinguishing between Cutaneous Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background & Objectives:  CD10 is a cell surface enzyme with metalloendopeptidase activity, also known as Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Antigen, which mainly serves as a marker for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To date and to the best of our knowledge, only few comparative immunohistochemical studies have assessed CD10 expression in cutaneous epithelial neoplasms. Our goal was to d...

serum zinc levels in squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma of skin

zinc has an important role in skin health and its deficiency reduces immunity. to evaluate levels of zinc in squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc) of skin, we studied 44 bcc and 38 scc cases together with 33 controls. blood samples were taken and after separation of serum, levels of zinc, albumin and total protein were measured by atomic absorption, albumin kit and reflec...

Lamin expression in normal human skin, actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND Aberrant expression patterns of nuclear lamins have been described in various types of cancer depending on the subtype of cancer, its aggressiveness, proliferative capacity and degree of differentiation. In general, the expression of A-type lamins (lamins A and C) has been correlated with a non-proliferating, differentiated state of cells and tissues. OBJECTIVES To establish and co...
