The aim of the current study was to assess psychosocial correlates (i.e., perceived weight, weight control strategies, substance use, and victimization) of frequent indoor tanning in adolescent boys-a group at high risk for developing skin cancer. Participants (N=7,907) were drawn from a nationally

OBJECTIVE Few studies have been conducted to elucidate the health-related quality of life(HR-QOL)of cancer outpatients treated with chemotherapy. In this study, we attempted to determine the physical and psychological distress of cancer outpatients treated with chemotherapy. METHODS Two-hundred and

The use of imiquimod 5% cream, a topical immunomodulator for the treatment of lentigo maligna (LM) was first described in 2000. Subsequent studies have indicated that imiquimod might be an effective nonsurgical treatment in patients who refuse to have, or are ineligible for surgery because of

There is no effective treatment for melanoma, a fatal skin cancer occurring with increasing frequency. Dietary tyrosine restriction lowers systemic tyrosine and suppresses the growth of melanoma in mice, but this is not tolerated by human resulting in nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. We report

A clinical phase II study of recombinant human leukocyte interferon A (rIFN-alpha A, Ro 22-8181) for various skin malignant tumors was jointly conducted at nine medical institutes across the country in order to study its clinical effect and side effects. Patients received Ro 22-8181 alone in doses

Importance: Certain patient groups, such as solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs), have a significantly increased risk of developing skin cancers. The chemotherapeutic drug capecitabine has been used off label as a chemopreventive
