Mefloquine, an antimalarial drug, is effective in killing melanoma cells resistant to other treatments by causing lethal stress in the cells.

Tumor cell adhesion is linked to higher risk of SLN metastasis and melanoma recurrence, and a model including these factors predicts these outcomes better than one with just clinical data.

The conclusion is that a certain test might help find cancer spread in lymph nodes for melanoma patients, but more research is needed due to false positives.

Thicker melanomas and nodular types are more likely to spread to sentinel lymph nodes.

The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.

Safflower extract increases melanin production in certain skin cells without harming them.

New melanoma treatments can cause skin side effects, including skin cancer and rashes, but combining treatments may reduce these risks.

A rare skin cancer caused hair loss and spread, needing multiple treatments.

People with myotonic dystrophy type 1 have a higher chance of getting skin tumors, including melanoma.

A patient with Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome also had choroidal melanoma, suggesting the need for careful eyelid exams in such patients.

Mohs micrographic surgery is effective for early-stage non-melanoma skin cancers on the lips, with basal cell carcinoma more common on the upper cutaneous lip and squamous cell carcinoma more common on the lower vermilion lip.

Two women were diagnosed with a rare melanoma that looked like hair loss but was actually a type of skin cancer.

Reflectance confocal microscopy is useful for diagnosing scalp melanomas, which have features similar to those on the trunk.

Non-melanoma skin cancer in darker-skinned people can be misdiagnosed, so doctors need to be more aware to diagnose it correctly and early.

People with certain allergic conditions or higher white blood cell counts have more severe hair loss, and treating hair and nail side effects early in melanoma therapy can improve quality of life.

Decreasing MIG6 can increase the movement and invasiveness of MEK-inhibited mutant NRAS melanoma, particularly when stimulated by EGF.

An 86-year-old man had a rare tongue melanoma but refused treatment, showing the need for early cancer detection and treatment.

Scalp melanoma is more common and easier to diagnose early in people with androgenetic alopecia due to sun damage.

Scalp melanoma is often diagnosed late in people with hair loss, leading to worse outcomes.
