However, genetic conditions predisposing patients to high risk for multiple and aggressive nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are well known, and, with increasing patients immune-suppressed in the course of organ transplant treatment, alternative approaches to treating these cancers are being pursued. ...

An estimated 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, making it the most common form of cancer in the U.S. Fortunately, it is also one of the most preventable cancers, because sun exposure and tanning bed use are major risk factors in its development, according to th...
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the causes, prevention, and treatment of skin cancer. Skin cancers are defined as either malignant or benign cells that typically arise from excessive exposure to UV radiation. Arguably, skin cancer is a type of cancer that can most easily be prevented...
