Advanced nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC) are tumors not amenable to surgery and/or radiation. Early systemic treatment attempts with cytotoxic chemotherapy demonstrated low response rates, short durations of response, and high toxicity. Over the last decade, modern therapies for advanced NMSC include targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Hedgehog pathway inhibitors and programmed death-1 inhibitors are available first-line therapies for the treatment of advanced basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, respectively.

Introduction: Long-term population-based safety studies, applying advanced causal inference techniques, including an active comparator with new-user design, are needed to investigate skin cancer outcomes among individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) treated with fingolimod. This study aims to describe a protocol for investigating the relationship between fingolimod use and the incidence of skin cancer among individuals with MS.

Methods And Analysis: We will use population-based administrative health data from two Canadian provinces (British Columbia and Alberta) to conduct an observational cohort 'trial emulation' study with an active comparator and new-user design.

Cutaneous squamous scell carcinoma (cSCC) is a frequent non-melanoma skin cancer that originates from keratinocytes with increased prevalence. cSCC can be either in situ, as in Bowen's disease, or extended. Advanced age, accumulated sun exposure, light pigmentation, and prior skin cancer diagnosis are all significant risk factors for cSCC.

Arsenic (As) is a risk factor for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). From a six-year follow-up study on 7000 adults exposed to As, we reported the associations of single-nucleotide variation in tumor tissue and gene expression. Here, we identify the associations of small deletions (DELs) and transcriptomic profiles in NMSC.

Purpose: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), the most common subtype of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), is prevalent worldwide and poses significant challenges due to their increasing incidence and complex treatment considerations. Existing clinical approaches, such as Mohs micrographic surgery, are time-consuming and labour-intensive, requiring meticulous layer-by-layer excision and examination, which can significantly extend the duration of the procedure. Current optical imaging solutions also lack the necessary spatial resolution, penetration depth, and contrast for effective clinical use.
