Article Synopsis
- Skin cancers are super common, especially in people with fair skin, and most of them are caused by UV rays from the sun, which means we can do things to prevent them.
- Experts from different continents suggest that fair-skinned people, especially kids, should stay out of the sun when the UV level is 3 or higher and use protection like hats, sunglasses, clothing, and sunscreen.
- They also believe sunbathing and using tanning beds are unhealthy, so they want to spread these ideas to help everyone stay safe from skin cancer.
Background: The incidence of skin cancers has been increasing steadily over the last decades. Although there have been significant breakthroughs in the management of skin cancers with the introduction of novel diagnostic tools and innovative therapies, skin cancer mortality, morbidity and costs heavily burden the society.
Objective: Members of the European Association of Dermato-Oncology, European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, International Dermoscopy Society, European Dermatology Forum, European Board of Dermatovenereology of the European Union of Medical Specialists and EORTC Cutaneous Lymphoma Task Force have joined this effort to emphasize the fundamental role that the specialist in Dermatology-Venereology has in the diagnosis and management of different types of skin cancer.

November 2014
Background: Hydration with topical emollients forms the backbone of treatment for mild atopic dermatitis (AD), but few randomized controlled trials have assessed their efficacy in young children.
Objectives: Assess the efficacy and tolerability of long-term emollient therapy in the treatment of moderate to severe xerosis in young children with AD.
Methods: This was a phase III, multicentre, double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled trial.
Background: Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer among the white population.
Objectives: To describe the epidemiology of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in Lithuania by analysing population-based incidence, with special emphasis on sex- and subsite-specific changes over time.
Methods: Data from the Lithuanian Cancer Registry for the period 1996-2010 were used to analyse trends in the incidence rates for BCC.
Euromelanoma is a dermatologist-led skin cancer prevention programme conducting an annual screening and public education campaign in over 20 European countries. Within its 10-year history, Euromelanoma has screened over 260,000 individuals across Europe, detecting a significant number of cutaneous melanomas and nonmelanoma skin cancers, identifying high-risk individuals for further surveillance and promoting awareness on the suspicious features of melanoma and the hazardous effects of ultraviolet exposure. In this review article, we summarize the history of the Euromelanoma campaign, present its organizational structure and discuss the results of the campaign in individual countries and on a European scale.
