Melanocortin receptor 1 variants and melanoma risk: a study of 2 European populations.

13 Oct 2009 Variation within the melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) gene, that influences phenotypic traits and susceptibility to melanoma, is abundant across the populations. We assessed and compared the risk of melanoma in 2 European populations, German and ... Read more...

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the skin: a case series.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Adenosquamous carcinoma is an uncommon cutaneous malignant neoplasm with mixed glandular and squamous differentiation and a propensity for aggressive clinical behavior. OBSERVATIONS: Of 27 patients diagnosed as having adenosquamous ... Read more...

Dietary fat intake and risk of skin cancer: a prospective study in Australian adults.

29 Sep 2009 Although intakes of dietary fat have been associated with both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin, the evidence is sparse and inconsistent. This study prospectively investigated the association between total ... Read more...
