Naringenin Nanocrystals Containing Pluronic® F127 Hydrogel for Skin Cancer Treatment. (PubMed, Gels)
Mechanistic studies revealed dose-dependent cytotoxicity, characterized by increased intracellular ROS, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and elevated caspase-3 activity, confirming ROS-mediated apoptosis. In conclusion, the nanocrystal-hydrogel platform significantly enhances the solubility, permeation, and pro-apoptotic efficacy of NRG, demonstrating its potential for skin cancer treatment.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma of the Thigh Presenting as a Hemorrhagic Mass: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Curr Oncol)
Lower-extremity MCC can mimic hemorrhagic or post-traumatic lesions, contributing to diagnostic delay. Persistent or rapidly enlarging "hematoma-like" lesions warrant early biopsy, and timely pathologic nodal staging is essential. Multimodal management can achieve durable control even in node-positive disease.

The Cancer Immunotherapy Thromboembolism Assessment: A Novel Score for Predicting Thromboembolic Events in Melanoma Patients Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibition. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
For the high-risk group, the negative predictive value (NPV) was 97.2%; sensitivity and specificity were 83.3% and 62%, respectively. The CITA risk score provides a simple and easily calculated risk assessment tool for stratifying melanoma patients based on their risk for TEE after ICI initiation, but prospective validation is needed before clinical use can be recommended.

Design of synthetic selenopeptides with antioxidant activity for the treatment of XP and non-melanoma skin cancer. (PubMed, Front Syst Biol)
A new recombinant expression plasmid vector was proposed, p-Sec Reg 1, in order to ensure optimal expression for future trials and production. The in silico validation of this innovative approach allows the creation of novel selenopeptides and their prospective applications in the treatment of XP and other skin cancer conditions.

sigNATURE maps cohort-specific T-cell states to reproducible programs of ICI response. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Using this framework. Together, these results establish sigNATURE as a framework for improving the reproducibility, cross-cohort comparability, and mechanistic interpretability of single-cell ICI biomarkers.

CXCL13 as a simple and promising blood biomarker for differentiating Sézary syndrome from mycosis fungoides and other confounding chronic inflammatory skin diseases. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
In conclusion, quantification of CXCL13 expression in PBMCs and, more robustly, measurement of its plasma levels by widely available techniques such as RT-qPCR and ELISA may represent practical screening tools to identify patients with suspected SS. These assays could facilitate earlier referral to specialized centres for confirmatory testing and prompt initiation of appropriate therapy.

E26 transformation-specific translocation variant 4 participates in melanoma progression and immune evasion by mediating the CD47molecule/signal regulatory protein α pathway. (PubMed, Melanoma Res)
ETV4 promotes melanoma progression and immune evasion by upregulating CD47 and activating the CD47/signal regulatory protein α signaling axis. Targeting the ETV4/CD47 pathway may represent a promising therapeutic option to enhance antitumor immunity in melanoma.

Comprehensive Genomic Profiling of Cutaneous Adnexal Carcinomas: A Genomic Landscape Study. (PubMed, Dermatopathology (Basel))
SEB tumors exhibited the highest frequency of genomic alterations. Prospective clinical trials are needed to determine the prognostic and predictive value of CAC-specific biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) response, which is essential for integrating novel therapies into the evolving treatment landscape.

Spontaneous regression of a choroidal nevus with risk factors for growth. (PubMed, Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol (Engl Ed))
However, spontaneous regression of choroidal nevus is exceedingly rare, with only 2 cases previously reported in the literature. The underlying mechanism is presumed to involve an immune-mediated response driven by melanocyte-specific T lymphocytes, predominantly cytotoxic CD8+ T cells.

Epiplakin expression in non-melanoma skin cancer: associations with epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers and tumor invasion. (PubMed, An Bras Dermatol)
This is the first study to assess epiplakin expression among epithelial cutaneous cancers. Epiplakin appears to be associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition and early tumor progression, and its differential expression pattern may provide diagnostic utility.

Systematic skin cancer screening in patients treated with biologics for chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases: an 11-year experience. (PubMed, Ann Dermatol Venereol)
Apart from rheumatoid arthritis, the risk factors for skin cancer in biologic-treated patients with CIRD are similar to those observed in the general population. Our findings might lead to more targeted dermatological monitoring.
