The skin malignant neoplasms constitute one of significant problems of public health. The increasing of morbidity and mortality of melanoma and other types of skin cancers is registered. The early detection of disease assures mortality decreasing and increases survival of patients. The purpose of the study is to develop optimal model of organizational and preventive measures of early diagnostic of malignant skin tumors. The comprehensive study was carried out, which included assessment of survey of patients using questionnaire "Melanoma Diagnosis Day". Also it included identification of level of awareness of physicians about screening, medical records of patients during COVID-19 pandemic, risk groups identification and effectiveness of selecting patient for screening. The total number of observations is 21 581. The selective and continuous observation method was applied and parametric and non-parametric methods as well. The study determined that during COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there was significant reliable uncompensated decrease in the number of patients with diagnosis of ICD D23, L82, C44 and decrease in the number of detected diseases. The melanoma, basalioma and other skin malignant neoplasms are reliably more common in patients of medium-high risk group, aged 60 years and older and in persons sunburned at the age of 18 years. The assignation of separate specialist to diagnose skin neoplasms allows statistically reliably increase rate of morphological confirmation of malignant neoplasms as compared to common reception by dermatologist. The sociological survey of physicians revealed statistically reliable difference in knowledge between dermatovenereologists, oncologists and physicians of other specialties concerning screening issues. The results of the study permitted to develop complex of organizational measures to improve screening. The model of organizational and preventive measures for early diagnostic of skin malignant tumors in outpatient conditions was proposed.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignancy and tends to metastasize lymphatically and hematogenously to the lung, liver, brain, and bone; it is a rare source of metastatic disease to the eye. Herein we provide a case report of cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the ciliary body and choroid involving clinical examination, slit lamp photography, and B-scan ultrasonography.
Result: A 55-year-old female with known metastatic cutaneous melanoma presented with pain, a large ciliochoroidal mass, visual decline, and diffuse intraocular inflammation.

Yttrium oxide nanoparticles (YONPs) have emerged as a promising avenue for cancer therapy, primarily due to their distinctive properties that facilitate selective targeting of cancer cells. Despite their potential, the therapeutic effects of YONPs on human epidermoid skin cancer remain largely unexplored. This study was thus conducted to investigate the impact of YONPs on both human skin normal and cancer cells, with an emphasis on assessing their cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and the mechanisms underlying these effects.

Ferroptosis is a unique form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, with regulatory mechanisms involving metabolic dysregulation and imbalance in redox systems. Ferroptosis is closely related to various immune cells in the tumor immune microenvironment, including both anti-tumor and pro-tumor immune cells, and it demonstrates significant potential in tumor immunotherapy. A systematic review of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis and its relationship with immune cells can provide deeper insights into its application prospects in tumor immunotherapy.

Melanoma is an aggressive tumor that is challenging to treat. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), the first oncolytic virus treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat unresectable melanoma, was recently used in recurrent tumors after initial surgery. Our network meta-analysis aimed to compare T-VEC treatment of metastatic melanoma with treatment of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and control group.

Introduction: Melanoma arising in blue nevus (BN) is usually evident on histopathology. However, there are cases in the gray zone where neither morphology nor immunostains and molecular studies are conclusive.
Case Report: A 33-year-old man presented with greenish discoloration of the abdominal skin at birth.
