Human skin is a physical and biochemical barrier that protects the internal body from the external environment. Throughout a person's life, the skin undergoes both intrinsic and extrinsic aging, leading to microscopic and macroscopic changes in its morphology. In addition, the repair processes slow with aging, making the older population more susceptible to skin diseases.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor endangering women's life and health. Tamoxifen citrate (TAM) is the first-line drug of adjuvant endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor-positive (ER) breast cancer patients. Some sporadic cases have described rare adverse reactions of TAM with potentially life-threatening dermatological manifestations, which were associated with skin allergy.

Introduction: Elacestrant has shown significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared to standard-of-care endocrine therapy in estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive), HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC), while potential benefit in early-stage disease requires further exploration. The SOLTI-ELIPSE window-of-opportunity trial investigated the biological changes induced by a short course of preoperative elacestrant in postmenopausal women with early BC.
Methods: Eligible patients with untreated T1c (≥1.

Thyroid function plays a seminal role in the growth and development of children, and alterations in signaling pathways which interfere with the biosynthesis, transport, and metabolism of thyroid hormones might impact on the skin of such patients: this review explores the relationship between different thyroid disorders and dermatological manifestations with a particular focus on the pediatric population. Common cutaneous conditions associated with thyroid dysfunction may include chronic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia, which can be early harbingers of an underlying endocrine disruption. This review also highlights the growing cognizance of a "thyroid-skin axis", with thyroid hormones influencing many physiologic processes within the skin such as keratinocyte proliferation, hair growth, and epidermal differentiation.

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is an ultrarare autosomal recessive disorder and occurs in all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Clinically, children and young people with A-T are affected by sinopulmonary infections, neurological deterioration with concomitant bulbar dysfunction, increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation, immunodeficiency, a decline in lung function, chronic liver disease, endocrine abnormalities, cutaneous and deep-organ granulomatosis, and early death. Pulmonary complications become more frequent in the second decade of life and are a leading cause of death in individuals with A-T.
