Collection of cancer Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) to link with primary and secondary electronic care records to understand and improve long term cancer outcomes: A protocol paper.

Introduction: More people are living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis. There is limited understanding of the long-term effects of cancer and cancer treatment on quality of life and personal and household finances when compared to people without cancer. In a separate protocol we have proposed to link de-identified data from electronic primary care and hospital records for a large population of cancer survivors and matched controls.

Basal cell carcinoma with a sarcomatous component (carcinosarcoma): a series of 5 cases and a review of the literature.

Subungual Bowen's disease treated by topical aminolevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy.

A diagnostic biopsy specimen confirmed the clinical suggestion of subungual Bowen's disease (carcinoma in situ). Various treatment options were considered, and the decision was made to treat with photodynamic therapy using topical 5-aminolevulunic acid administered as two treatments 4 weeks apart.
