January 2013 in “University of Michigan Press eBooks” This review examines recent breast cancer memoirs and photographic narratives, highlighting how they address topics like environmental carcinogens and genetic testing while reshaping traditional testimonial and memorial narratives.
This scoping review found that cancer-related appearance changes lead to significant psychosocial challenges for survivors, which are often inadequately addressed in current care. To better support survivors, the review highlighted the need for more appearance-related research and collaboration with the beauty industry.

September 2020 in “Journal of Internal Medicine” This review discusses the role of cellular heterogeneity and interaction in the skin's ability to maintain homeostasis despite cancer-causing mutations, noting the potential for these cells to also drive tumor formation, but reports no new clinical results.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers developed a detailed spatial atlas of healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma, revealing that basal cell carcinoma likely originates from hair follicles and involves expansion of specific fibroblast subpopulations found in healthy skin.
January 2024 in “Wiadomości Lekarskie” This study reported the development of fluorescent markers using wide band gap metal oxides with rare earth ions for early tumor detection and treatment. Testing in animals showed high efficiency and selectivity, with potential applications in contrast-enhanced MRI, targeted drug delivery, and photodynamic cancer therapy.
August 2013 in “Nature Reviews Drug Discovery” New cancer treatments show promise in reducing tumor growth and improving skin regeneration in mice.

December 2018 in “Cell stem cell” This study suggests that phenotypic plasticity, including processes like dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation, plays a crucial role in cancer initiation, progression, and therapy resistance, broadening our understanding of cancer dynamics and potential treatment strategies.
2 citations
,
June 2006 in “Journal of Clinical Pathology” This study found that the expression of certain biomarkers, including HER-2 and oestrogen receptor alpha, in breast skin may be influenced by the presence of breast cancer, suggesting a systemic effect.

,
January 1996 in “Journal of cellular biochemistry” This article discusses ongoing and planned clinical chemoprevention trials for various agents and combinations but reports no new results; it highlights promising new agents and the evolving focus on molecular pathways.
July 2026 in “Nature Communications” In this study, researchers used patient-derived organoids to model metastasis in colorectal cancer and discovered that cancer cells temporarily switch to a wound-healing program, orchestrated by reduced EZH2 activity and YAP signaling, before spreading to new organs.
