Article Synopsis
- The study focused on evaluating sexual distress and quality of life in women suffering from moderate-to-severe genital erosive lichen planus (GELP) in Norway.
- A total of 36 women were assessed using the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS-R) for sexual distress and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) for quality of life, with findings showing significant distress and reduced quality of life among many participants.
- Despite the significant sexual distress and quality of life issues reported, no clear relationships were identified between the severity of the disease and the levels of distress or quality of life, nor was there a correlation with age.
Monitoring melanoma incidence time trends by tumour thickness is essential to understanding the evolution of melanoma occurrence and guiding prevention strategies. To assess long-term incidence trends, tumour thickness was extracted from pathology reports in the Cancer Registry of Norway (1983-2007) and the Norwegian Melanoma Registry (2008-2019), n = 45,635 patients. Across all anatomic sites, T1 (≤ 1 mm) incidence increased most (men annual percentage change [AAPC] = 4.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) can lead to multiple tumors and is dangerous for both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients, including organ transplant recipients.
- This study analyzed data from nearly 48,000 cSCC patients in Norway to compare the rates of second cSCC, metastasis, and mortality between those who received organ transplants and those who didn't.
- Findings revealed that organ transplant recipients had significantly higher rates of second cSCC (4.3 times more) and metastasis (1.5 times more), with a small percentage of deaths from cSCC, especially in the transplant group.
