[Screening for cutaneous melanoma: little impact, major challenges].

Routine screening for melanoma has never been shown to be effective. Here, we revisit this debate and the preconceived notion that the increased detection of early-stage melanoma should necessarily be followed within the same population by a reduction in the incidence of advanced stages, which is not supported by any evidence. The issue of overdiagnosis, which has been debated for several decades, is discussed in the light of screening practices.

[Dermatology - Update on systemic treatments for locally advanced and/or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma].

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common skin malignancy successfully treated by surgery in most patients. Locally advanced (la) and/or metastatic (m) cSCC require systemic treatments to either achieve complete remission or local control before subsequent surgery or radiotherapy. Recently, monoclonal antibodies against programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) have proven to be effective in several la/m cSCC treatment trials, with response rates up to 45 % and a one-year progression-free survival up to 55 %.
