BACKGROUND Nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC) constitute the largest group of skin cancers. In this study, NMSCs were analyzed retrospectively. METHODS Between June 2013 and March 2017, demographics and comorbidities of patients underwent reconstructive surgery for NMSC; their risk factors, types, diameters, differentiation, localizations, follow-up times, treatment methods and complications we...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is one of the mostcommon non melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), along withbasal cell carcinoma (BCC). Besides ultraviolet radiation,exposure to industrial agents, ionizing radiation, and areas ofchronic inflammation are associated with the development ofSCC. Squamous cell carcinoma may also be associated withforeign bodies. We report a rare case of cutaneous...

Occupational skin cancer may manifest when employees are under exposure to one specific carcinogenic substance or more in the workplace. Workplaces often have higher concentrations of carcinogens compared any other setting. The most common causes workplace ultraviolet radiation, ionizing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and arsenic. However, there is only a limited number studies on from occup...

What is radiotherapy? Radiotherapy is the treatment of disease, primarily malignant tumours, using electromagnetic and particle radiations. Radiotherapy has been used for skin cancers for nearly a century and in fact skin cancers were the first cancers to be treated and controlled with radiotherapy. During this protracted period, techniques of administering radiotherapy have developed continuou...

Management of patients with extensive facial skin cancers is a challenge. We present a series of nine patients with extensive facial skin cancers and our experience with managing these patients.

background: the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene found in human cancer is p53. in a normal situation, p53 is activated upon the induction of dna damage to either arrest the cell cycle or to induce apoptosis. however, when mutated, p53 is no longer able to properly accomplish these functions. the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of p53 gene in cases of skin cancer...

Skin cancer has been the most usual and illustrates 50% of all new cancers detected each year. If they detected at an early stage, treatment can become simple and economically. Accurate skin lesion segmentation is important in automated early skin cancer detection and diagnosis systems. The aim of this study is to provide an effective approach to detect the skin lesion border on a purposed imag...

Cancer is a critical health threat in the world. It has an ongoing increasing trend.The aim of this study was to describe the trend, most common types of cancer and the gender ratio of cancer in Iran and its provinces. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Science directs from 2000 to 2017 using Keywords including “Cancer”, “Neoplasms”, “Malignancy”, “Tumor”, “Incidence”, “Epidemiolog...
