Background: Dermatology practice has recently seen multiple changes. A better understanding of trends pertaining to dermatology practice setups is necessary.
Objective: To analyze the recent changes in dermatology practice in terms of geography, practice size, and gender distribution as well as to analyze the availability of dermatologists based on zip codes' income levels.
Background: Immunosuppressed patients have worse outcomes from cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCCs), although unclear whether it is due to the development of more high-stage tumors or worse outcomes for a given stage.
Objective: Analyze the impact of immunosuppression on the development of cSCCs and tumor stage-dependent outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Single-institution 1:2 case-control study of primary invasive cSCCs from 2005 to 2015 in 106 mixed-cause immunosuppressed patients and 212 control subjects matched to age, gender, and race.
This case-control study examines the association of multiple squamous cell carcinoma with poor outcomes in the immunosuppressed patient population.

Objective: We sought to provide a more precise estimate of clearance rates in patients with lentigo maligna who are treated with imiquimod and to analyze factors that can impact tumor clearance.
Methods: We performed a literature search for biopsy-proven lentigo maligna treated with imiquimod monotherapy, linked treatment and outcome data to individual tumors, calculated histologic and clinical clearance rates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and analyzed the impact of tumor and treatment factors on tumor clearance using logistic regression.
