Objective: Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and subsequent reconstructive procedures for the treatment of facial nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) significantly impact quality of life (QoL). A validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for patients who undergo Mohs reconstruction is not yet established. This study aims to systematically assess the quality of existing PROMs to determine their effectiveness in capturing the challenges faced after Mohs reconstruction for facial NMSC.

Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) presents a significant challenge to global healthcare due to its rising incidence, prompting the search for innovative treatments to overcome the limitations of current therapies. Our study aims to explore the potential effects of the liquid blood concentrate platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on basal cell carcinoma cells (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinoma cells (SCCs) in order to obtain results that may lead to new possible adjunctive therapies for managing localized skin cancers, particularly NMSC. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells were indirectly treated with PRF generated via different relative centrifugation forces, namely high and low RCF PRF, for 7 days.

Introduction And Importance: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer, tightly connected to ultraviolet exposure, and typically occurs on sun-exposed areas, including the nose. Reconstructing defects in the nasal tip following the removal of basal cell carcinoma lesions presents significant challenges, requiring a balance between completely removing the cancerous cells and achieving an optimal aesthetic result, especially since this area is central to the face.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 62-year-old male patient with a 2 × 3 cm tumor located at the nasal tip, initially diagnosed as a benign vascular tumor based on clinical examination and imaging results.

Introduction And Importance: Albinism, or the loss of pigment formation by otherwise healthy melanocytes, is quite common in Sub-Saharan Africa and is most likely caused by consanguinity. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation and albinism have been both related to non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and melanoma are the two main types of skin cancer.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common cutaneous non-melanoma cancer in Mexico, accounting for 20% of all skin cancers. It is considered a global public health concern due to the rising incidence and prevalence, which is associated with an aging population. Treatment for cSCC depends on the severity of the disease, which determines different therapeutic approaches.
