We report the finding of clonal chromosome abnormalities in 13 short-term cultured squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the skin. Intratumor heterogeneity, in the form of cytogenetically related (subclones) or unrelated clones, was detected in six tumors. Whereas clones with complex karyotypic changes

Background. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) of the oral cavity recurs with a frequency of 25%-48%, a fact that usually portends a poor prognosis. Recent studies have reported salvage cure rates as high as 67%. Investigators have also claimed that restaging recurrent tumors provides useful prognostic
Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin with a predisposition for local regional and distant spread. Radiotherapy after wide local excision has improved local control, but distant spread continues to be a significant problem. This is an update of our experience i
We conducted a case-control study of sun exposure and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin within a population-based, longitudinal study of skin cancer. Cases had histopathologically confirmed SCC. Subjects were interviewed about their lifetime sun exposure, including exposure to the site of th
