Background: Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Tunisia. The objectives of our study were to estimate the incidence level of the main cancer sites in Northern Tunisia in 2023 and to dress projections till 2040.
Methods: The population based cancer registry database of northern Tunisia was the source of cases of this study.

Little is known about the impact of low- to moderate-penetrance genetic testing for skin cancer, which is a promising approach to skin cancer prevention. To address this deficit, we conducted an analysis comparing changes in skin cancer-related behaviors, distress, and beliefs measured at a baseline and twice after the receipt of skin cancer precision prevention materials containing risk feedback (higher or average risk) among 568 non-Hispanic White (NHW) and 463 Hispanic participants. Regression analyses identified decreased average weekend hours in the sun (β = -0.

Cutaneous metastatic melanoma (CMM) is the most aggressive form of skin cancer with a poor prognosis. Drug-induced secondary tumorigenesis and the emergency of drug resistance worsen an already worrying scenario, thus rendering urgent the development of new treatments not dealing with mutable cellular processes. Triphenyl phosphonium salts (TPPSs), in addiction to acting as cytoplasmic membrane disruptors, are reported to be mitochondria-targeting compounds, exerting anticancer effects mainly by damaging their membranes and causing depolarization, impairing mitochondria functions and their DNA, triggering oxidative stress (OS), and priming primarily apoptotic cell death.

Invasion of some cancer cells into surrounding tissues requires traversing dense environments, although the precise mechanisms are unclear. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Driscoll et al. (2024) show that amoeboid melanoma cells create tunnels via bleb-driven abrasion of the extracellular matrix (ECM) without proteolytic degradation, a mechanism coined "worrying.
