Change in Metabolic Markers and the Risk of Skin Cancer: Results from the Lifelines Cohort Study in the Netherlands.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
January 2025
Background: Skin-cancers are the most common cancers in Caucasians, and their incidence is rising. Although metabolic and anthropometric markers play a role in cancer development, the relationship of metabolic and anthropometric changes with skin-cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to examine possible associations between these changes and the risk of skin-cancer.

Purpose: To identify functional capacity assessment tools studied before surgery and characterize the extent of evidence regarding performance, including in populations where assessment is confounded by noncardiopulmonary reasons.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and EBM Reviews (until July 2024).
Prenatal adipose tissue development affects body composition and growth trajectory in early infancy, therefore it is a key determinant of adiposity in childhood. Childhood overweight and obesity increase the probability of being obese as an adult. After birth and in adulthood, adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) are relevant constituents of the fat depots, and they are necessary for physiological adipose tissue development and fat metabolism.

- * Testing for mutations in the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene promoter (p) can enhance diagnostic confidence, but the study aims to explore the cost-effectiveness of this testing approach.
- * Out of 367 analyzed cases, mutation analysis was performed in 86% of initially uncertain diagnoses, resulting in improved confidence for 38% of those cases, while establishing a micro-costing framework to evaluate financial implications.
Introduction: Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are believed to have an increased risk of metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), but reliable data are lacking regarding the precise incidence and associated risk factors.
Methods: In a prospective cohort study, including 19 specialist dermatology outpatient clinics in 15 countries, patient and tumor characteristics were collected using standardized questionnaires when SOTRs presented with a new cSCC. After a minimum of 2 years of follow-up, relevant data for all SOTRs were collected.
