The care pathway experienced by cutaneous melanoma survivors: A qualitative longitudinal study.

Background: The optimal management of cutaneous melanoma is based on implementing a multidisciplinary tumour board. No studies report cutaneous melanoma patients' perspective along the whole care pathway, taking us through their care experience longitudinally.

Aims: To explore the patients' perspective on the cutaneous melanoma care journey in a skin cancers' tertiary referral centre.

Characteristics and management of skin cancers in very elderly patients: A real-world challenge for clinicians.

The increase life expectancy led to an expected increase in skin cancer incidence in older patients. Their treatment can require a complex decision-making process. Limited data are available on characteristics, management and outcome of skin tumours in nonagenarian and centenarian patients.

Melanomas of the scalp: is hair coverage preventing early diagnosis?

Background: Scalp melanomas are usually thicker and show worse prognosis than other sites and other head and neck melanomas. One hypothesis to explain this aggressive behavior could be diagnosis delay attributed to hair concealment of lesions.

Methods: Primary melanomas of the scalp diagnosed over two decades at four reference centers in Australia and Italy were included.

Treatment monitoring of 5-fluorouracil 0.5%/salicylic acid 10% lesion-directed therapy for actinic keratosis using dermoscopy and in-vivo reflectance confocal microscopy.

Recently, 5-fluorouracil 0.5%/salicylic acid 10% (5-FU/SA) topical solution has been included in the National Italian portfolio for lesion-directed treatment of grade I/II actinic keratosis (AKs) located on the face or scalp. To describe the utility of dermoscopy and RCM in treatment response monitoring of a series of AKs treated with 5-FU/SA as lesion-directed therapy.
