    Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2018 Apr 25. Epub 2018 Apr 25.
    Department of Dermatology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School
    Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common cancer in America, and its incidence is substantially higher in men than women, but the reasons for the difference are unknown.

    The economic burden of occupational non-melanoma skin cancer due to solar radiation.
    J Occup Environ Hyg 2018 Apr 25:1-11. Epub 2018 Apr 25.
    f Occupational Cancer Research Centre , Toronto , Ontario , Canada.
    Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the second most prevalent carcinogenic exposure in Canada and is similarly important in other countries with large Caucasian populations.

    J Oncol 2018 1;2018:2325808. Epub 2018 Mar 1.
    Department of Pathology, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil.
    The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of individuals with intraoral potentially malignant disorders (IOPMD) in an oral pathology service in Brazil. Cases were screened based on clinical diagnosis of leukoplakia (LKP), erythroleukoplakia (ELKP), and erythroplakia (EP). Clinical data and information regarding associated factors were gathered from biopsy reports. Read More

    Department of Gastroenterology, DGH, SGU, WI, Birmingham City University, Birmingham B4 7BD, United Kingdom.
    Aim: To determine short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using the stag beetle (SB) knife, a scissor-shaped device.

    Methods: Seventy consecutive patients with 96 early esophageal neoplasms, who underwent ESD using a SB knife at Kure Medical Center and Chugoku Cancer Center, Japan, between April 2010 and August 2016, were retrospectively evaluated. Clinicopathological characteristics of lesions and procedural adverse events were assessed. Read More

    Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
    BACKGROUND Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (SmCC) is a relatively rare clinical entity constituting only 2.5-5% of SmCCs. Recently, evidence has emerged that high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) might play an etiologic role in oropharyngeal SmCC, similar to squamous cell carcinoma. Read More

    Pearls & Oy-sters: The critical role of histopathology in diagnosing cancer-associated necrotizing CNS vasculitis.
    Neurology 2018 Apr;90(17):808-811
    From Wake Forest University School of Medicine (J.S.); and the Departments of Neurology (J.T., R.E.S., A.G.), Pathology (R.M.), Radiology (C.G.), and Rheumatology (R.W.), Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Winston-Salem, NC.
    Objective: To highlight the importance of a broad differential and histopathologic confirmation in patients with newly diagnosed cancer with brain lesions atypical for CNS metastasis.

    Methods: We report 2 cases of biopsy-proven CNS vasculitis in patients undergoing treatment for a newly diagnosed nonmetastatic cancer. Comprehensive medical record review was performed to identify the clinical presentation, representative neuroimaging, histopathologic features, and response to treatment. Read More

    J Biol Regul Homeost Agents 2018 Mar-Apr;32(2):391-395
    Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy.
    Oral Lichen planus (OLP) is the most frequent mucosal localization of Lichen planus, affecting about 1-2% of the population. It is associated with skin lesions in 60-70% of cases, while occurring as the only manifestations in 15-25% of patients. Six clinical forms of OLP are identified: reticular (the most common), plaque, papular, atrophic, vesicles/bullous and erosive. Read More
