July 2015 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas” A young woman with a rare fungal infection showed significant improvement after treatment with antifungal medication.
September 2009 in “European Urology Supplements” Surgery for high-risk prostate cancer is challenging but doesn't lead to more complications, and additional treatment is often needed.
September 2006 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This study reported that squamous cell carcinomas of the scalp can be extraordinarily aggressive, potentially metastasizing and causing death, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and careful treatment approaches.
January 2003 in “Annals of Dermatology” This case report describes a hair structure abnormality associated with iron deficiency anemia, which improved after iron supplementation ceased hair loss and corrected the hair shaft abnormality.

October 2007 in “The Journal of Immunology” This study found that chronic eczema supports the expansion of myeloid suppressor cells, which contribute to silencing autoreactive T cells and partially promote hair regrowth in alopecia areata.
13 citations
,
August 1980 in “Cancer” This study found that administering chemotherapy to premenopausal women with Stage II breast cancer significantly improved disease-free intervals and increased survival, while postmenopausal women receiving sufficient doses also saw prolonged disease-free periods.

April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that adding cell adhesion-linked gene expression variables improved the identification of patients with SLN metastases within 90 days of melanoma diagnosis compared to using clinicopathologic variables alone.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The researchers reported that SOX4 expression is significantly upregulated in melanoma and its knockdown in cell lines resulted in reduced tumor progression, suggesting potential for targeted therapies.
July 2014 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Sentinel lymph node biopsy is recommended for all types of desmoplastic melanoma due to higher rates of nodal metastasis.
July 2014 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Sentinel lymph node biopsy is recommended for all types of desmoplastic melanoma due to higher rates of nodal metastasis.
