Abstract:
Skin cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the world. Diagnosis of skin cancer is commonly performed by analysing skin lesions on the patient’s body. Today’s medical diagnostics use a established set of labels for different types of skin lesions. Another way of categorising skin lesions could be to let a computer perform the analysis without any prior knowledge of the data, where the data is a data set of skin lesion images. This categorisation could then be compared to the already existing medical labels assigned to each image. This categorisation and comparison could provid

Abstract:
Over one million Americans are afflicted with skin cancer each year. Even though skin cancer has a 95% cure rate, approximately 10,000 people die in the United States each year of this disease. The current ABCDE(F) detection method is not sensitive enough to detect skin cancer in its early stages and requires a biopsy for any suspicious lesions. A lot of unnecessary biopsies, which are painful and costly to the patient, are taken. Therefore, a noninvasive technique is needed that can accurately detect the presence of skin cancer.

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation and immunosuppression are the principal causes of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). One of the skin’s main functions is to act as a barrier against environmental insults and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is a marker of skin barrier function. Previous phase 2 studies have shown nicotinamide (NAM) to reduce premalignant actinic keratoses. Topical NAM has been shown to reduce TEWL. The effects of oral NAM were evaluated in two clinical trials. The Oral Nicotinamide To Reduce Actinic Cancer (ONTRAC) study was a multicentre phase 3, double-blind, randomised contr

However, in spite of these, skin cancer incidence continues to increase and mortality still exists, making skin cancer prevention of the utmost importance. Outlined in this dissertatio

The most important environmental risk factor for skin cancer is sunlight exposure.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER), the pathway responsible for removal of UV-induced DNA damage, is defective in XP patients. The XPB and XPD helicases are essential components of the NER pathway. Frequent polymorphisms have been reported in NER genes and polymorphisms in ERCC2, ERCC1 and XPF have been investigated for association with various types of cancer

I have discovered that pharmacologically blocking this pathway with the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 prevents both UV radiation-induced immune suppression and skin cancer.
