چکیده
We report a case of 15 year old female patient of xeroderma pigmentosum with large squamous cell carcinoma on the left side of cheek. She received combination chemotherapy with isotretinoin for a period of 4 months and showed complete clinical remission of tumour. The role of isotretinoin in cancer prevention and management of malignancies associated in xeroderma pigmentosum is also reviewed through literature.

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a hereditary autosomal recessive disorder characterized by photo hypersensitivity of sun exposed tissues and subsequent several-fold increased risk for malignant changes resulting from impaired ability to repair UV-induced DNA damage. Estimated incidences vary from 1 in 20,000 in Japan to 1 in 250,000 in the USA, and approximately 2.3 per million live births in Wes...
متن کاملVitamin A and cancer.
Vitamin A, its physiological metabolites and synthetic derivatives (retinoids) have been shown to have protective effects against the development of certain types of cancer. In addition, pharmacological amounts of retinoids have been used with some success in the treatment of a few human tumors. The chemoprevention effect of retinoids is most likely exerted at the tumor promotion phase of carci...
متن کاملCommon polymorphisms in ERCC2 (Xeroderma pigmentosum D) are not associated with breast cancer risk.
A substantial proportion of the familial risk of breast cancer may be due to genetic variants, each contributing a small effect. The protein encoded by ERCC2 is a key enzyme involved in nucleotide excision repair, in which gene defects could lead to cancer prone syndromes such as Xeroderma pigmentosum D. We have examined the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ERCC2 gene ...
