Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is characterized by a high tumor mutational burden due to solar damage and a favorable response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Yet, we encounter tumors arising in areas with minimal sun exposure, such as cSCC that develops in chronically inflamed skin, also known as Marjolin's Ulcer (MU). The response of MU-SCC to immunotherapy remains unknown.

Inguinal skin flap necrosis (SFN) is a significant clinical problem associated with inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND). The aetiology of SFN is multifactorial, and its manifestations vary widely. Thermal damage caused by electrocautery during the elevation of the skin flap may contribute to this problem, which has not been studied previously.

Article Synopsis
- The FOXC2 transcription factor is linked to aggressive basal-like breast cancers and issues like lymphedema, which can lead to chronic wounds and increase cancer risk.
- A study using mouse models revealed that Foxc2 mice had delayed wound healing and larger scar areas compared to wildtype mice.
- The findings suggest that FOXC2 plays a crucial role in skin wound healing and may contribute to fibrosis and immune cell differences, highlighting its potential impact on cancer development in older adults.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most prevalent form of skin cancer in dark-skinned populations, but research on its prevalence and treatment is mainly focused on white populations, particularly neglecting black Africans like Ethiopians.
- * The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of cSCC among patients at a rehabilitation center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, using a combination of literature review and retrospective data analysis from 2011 to 2021.
- * Results showed that cSCC accounted for 3.8% of total samples, with a majority of cases appearing in females and patients often presenting symptoms after more than a year; key findings included a high proportion of well-differentiated tumors
