Rates of skin cancer screening and prevention counseling by US medical residents.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine factors related to residents' self-reported skill level for the skin cancer examination (SCE). DESIGN: Survey of residents in November 2003. SETTING: Four US residency programs. PARTICIPANTS: Medical residents in family ... Read more...

Targeted disruption of Bcl-xL in mouse keratinocytes inhibits both UVB- and chemically induced skin carcinogenesis.

29 Sep 2009 Bcl-x(L) is one of several antiapoptotic proteins regulated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3). We have recently shown that Stat3 is required for chemically induced and ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin carcinogenesis. In ... Read more...

Behaviors associated with ultraviolet radiation exposure in a cohort of adult survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer: a report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Previous research from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) has shown that risk of skin cancer is strongly associated with exposure to radiation therapy. The potential role of ultraviolet radiation exposure in survivors has not ... Read more...
