When treating aggressive skin cancers, pre- and postoperative imaging provides important information for treatment planning and multidisciplinary cooperation of care. It is important for dermatologists to recognize the clinical scenarios where imaging is indicated in the management of skin cancer. We here address the most common indications for imaging in cutaneous oncology and how to best utilize the modalities available.

Background/aim: Apalutamide induces severe skin adverse events (sAEs) in 14.7% of Japanese patients, leading to treatment discontinuation. To maximize the management of sAEs in patients taking apalutamide for prostate cancer, we conducted pharmacist outpatient clinics for patients receiving apalutamide in the outpatient setting.

Background/aim: In a tongue-submandibular lymph node (SLN) metastasis model, the cystine/glutamate transporter solute carrier family 7, member 11 (Slc7a11), also known as xCT, was found to increase in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) within SLNs prior to melanoma cell metastasis. However, the precise mechanism by which xCT influences LECs remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of xCT in primary cultured LECs.

Background/aim: Methionine addiction, known as the Hoffman effect, makes cancer cells more sensitive to methionine restriction than normal cells. However, the long-term effects of methionine restriction on cancer and normal cells have not been thoroughly studied.

Materials And Methods: HCT-116 human colorectal-cancer cells and Hs27 normal skin fibroblasts were treated with 0-8 U/ml of recombinant methioninase (rMETase) for 12 days.

Background/aim: Solar ultraviolet radiation represents the most important environmental risk factor for skin cancer. However, vitamin D synthesis from sun exposure has been reported to exert anti-carcinogenic effects on melanocytes in vitro. This justifies the ongoing debate whether vitamin D status can be considered a risk and prognostic for primary cutaneous malignant melanoma.
