Enhanced anti-tumor efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid-gold nanoparticles-mediated photodynamic therapy in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (5), 2020
The objective of this study was to investigate whether the conjugation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) to 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) could enhance the anti-tumor efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in epidermoid carcinoma cells. The mRNA and protein expression levels were determined by quantitative ...

Sebaceoma: hallazgos dermatoscópicos a propósito de dos casos
Sebaceoma: dermatoscopic findings at purpose of two cases

Rev. chil. dermatol; 36 (1), 2020
El sebaceoma es una neoplasia sebácea benigna inusual, que inicialmente se denominaba epitelioma sebáceo, lo que generaba confusión respecto a su biología tumoral, dado que histopatológicamente no presenta diferenciación suficiente como el adenoma sebáceo y tampoco es tan indeferenciado como el ca...

Artificial intelligence algorithm for the histopatological diagnosis of skin cancer

Clin. biomed. res; 40 (4), 2020
Introduction: Cutaneous neoplasms are the most common cancers in the world, and have high morbidity rates. A definitive diagnosis can only be obtained after histopathological evaluation of the lesions. To develop an artificial intelligence program to establish the histopathological diagnosis of cutaneous...

Contribution to characterization of skin field cancerization activity: morphometric, chromatin texture, proliferation, and apoptosis aspects,

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (6), 2019
Abstract Background: A skin field cancerization is a cutaneous area with subclinical changes resultant from chronic sun exposure, with a higher predisposition to development of pre-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. So far, there are no well-defined objective parameters that can indicate their degree of...

Actinic keratoses: review of clinical, dermoscopic, and therapeutic aspects

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (6), 2019
Abstract Actinic keratoses are dysplastic proliferations of keratinocytes with potential for malignant transformation. Clinically, actinic keratoses present as macules, papules, or hyperkeratotic plaques with an erythematous background that occur on photoexposed areas. At initial stages, they may be bett...

Melanoacanthoma: a potential pitfall of reflectance confocal microscopy

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (6), 2019
Abstract Melanoacanthoma is a rare variant of seborrheic keratosis, which is notable for dark pigmentation and fast radial growth, making it difficult to distinguish from melanoma. Histologically, it is characterized by proliferation of keratinocytes and dendritic melanocytes. The authors report a scalp ...

Primary scrotal melanoma: it is time to destigmatize genital lesions

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (6), 2019
Abstract Primary male genital melanomas are very rare; they are associated with high mortality and late detection. Scrotal melanoma is the least common presentation and only 23 cases have been reported. Herein, the authors present a 30-year-old patient with stage IIIC (T4b, N2a, M0) scrotal melanoma in o...

Horizontal histological sections in the preliminary evaluation of basal cell carcinoma submitted to Mohs micrographic surgery

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (6), 2019
Abstract Background: Mohs micrographic surgery is a surgical technique for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Surgery begins by removing the visible tumor before excision of the tissue specimens for evaluation of the tumor margins. Objectives: To present a new way to evaluate the material obtain...
