According to a recent study from the University of Gothenburg, the immunosuppressive medicine methotrexate (MTX) has been linked to an increased risk of three forms of skin cancer. Patients using the medicine have moderate to severe psoriasis; nonetheless, a risk increase for basal cell carc
New research indicates that simple laser treatments to the skin may help to prevent the development of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which are collectively known as keratinocyte carcinoma and are the most common types of cancer diagnosed in the United States.
Amyloid beta, a protein known to build up in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, also helps skin cancer cells thrive when they spread to the brain, a new study finds.
Gurugram (Haryana) [India], December 27 (ANI/BusinessWire India): India is now facing a significant burden from the rising cancer incidence rate, which is continually climbing. According to estimates, India will record 19 to 20 lakh cancer cases by the end of 2022, although the actual incide
A study published in Cell Reports reveals important insights into the molecular mechanisms that underpin the body's natural defences against the development of skin cancer.
A team led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) recently developed an artificial intelligence-based method to predict which patients are most likely to experience a recurrence and are therefore expected to benefit from aggressive treatment.
Riverside (California)[US], October 15 (ANI): The residual pollutants from tobacco smoke that remain on surfaces and in dust after the tobacco has been smoked are referred to as thirdhand smoke (THS). It can linger for an indefinite period of time on indoor surfaces, exposing both smokers an
Riverside (California)[US], October 12 (ANI): Thirdhand smoke (THS) refers to the residual pollutants from tobacco smoke that remain on surfaces and in dust after the tobacco has been smoked. It can linger on indoor surfaces indefinitely, exposing both smokers and nonsmokers to potentially h
