BACKGROUND The association of an increased risk to develop melanoma in patients with prostate cancer has recently been confirmed. PURPOSE The postulated etiologic relationship between prostate cancer and the subsequent occurrence of melanoma is discussed. METHODS A man with previous prostate cancer who developed melanoma on the plantar surface of his left great toe is described and the poss...

Abstract The Great Debate session at the 2020 Melanoma Bridge virtual congress (December 3rd–5th, Italy) featured counterpoint views from experts on five specific controversial issues in melanoma. debates considered whether or not innate immunity is important response to cancer and immunotherapy, how useful are revised American Joint Committee Cancer (AJCC) classification for staging of patient...

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms cancer, which can be treated only with early detection disease. The article discusses existing algorithms and methods visual diagnosis melanoma. systems automatic dermatoscopic images used by them are also considered. considers limitations hindering development systems: lack relevant domestic data sets that allow training artificial intelligence mode...

BACKGROUND Melanoma cases may exist in pancreatic cancer kindreds, whereas there is increased risk of pancreatic cancer in familial melanoma. The two cancers may share genetic susceptibility variants in common. METHODS Three dbGaP (datasets in Genotypes and Phenotypes)-deposited GWAS (genome-wide association study) datasets (MD Anderson melanoma, PanScan 1, and PanScan 2 for pancreatic cancer...

Background: The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) has increased continuously during recent decades among many populations the world. Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma is a malignancy with demographic and ethnic disparity located in skin mucous membranous. objective this study to determine (CM) characteristics Iran. Methods: This retrospective cross sectional study. We used data from Ra...

Skin cancer is the most prevalent and deadliest kind of cancer. Melanoma dangerous type skin cancer, but it can be detected earlier successfully treated. The dermoscopic image classification using Machine Learning (ML) approaches in identifying melanoma increased over last two decades. proposed system involves three stages. Initially, pre-processing employs median filter thresholding approach a...

Melanoma skin cancer is one of the most dangerous types cancer, which, if not diagnosed early, may lead to death. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis needed detect melanoma. Traditionally, a dermatologist utilizes microscope inspect and then provide report on biopsy for diagnosis; however, this process easy requires experience. Hence, there need facilitate while still yielding diagnosis. For purpo...

background: the fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.the high linear energy transfer (let) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in dna. at the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. this targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...

Introduction: There is a strong need for developing clinical technologies and instruments for prompt tissue assessment in a variety of oncological applications as smart methods. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a real-time, noninvasive, point-measurement, optical diagnostic technique for malignancy detection through changes at cellular and subcellular levels, especially important in ear...
