About the cutaneous targets of bexarotene in CTCL patients
TLDR
About the cutaneous targets of bexarotene in CTCL patients and their potential applications in wound care and oncology is described.
Clinicopathologic analysis of malignant or premalignant cutaneous neoplasms in Japanese kidney transplant recipients
TLDR
It is suggested that, among Japanese recipients of kidney transplant, MPCNs in sun-exposed skin areas may be associated with immunosuppression and ultraviolet exposure.
Reducing non‐melanoma skin cancer risk in renal transplant recipients
TLDR
The clinical and financial burden of transplant‐associated skin cancers, carcinogenic mechanisms in association with immunosuppression, importance of skin cancer awareness campaign and integrated transplant skin clinic, and the potential role of chemoprotective agents are highlighted.
Aggressive Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Associated with Prolonged Voriconazole Therapy in a Renal Transplant Patient
TLDR
An alternative antifungal prophylaxis regimen (for instance with posaconazole) should be considered when evaluating patients for solid organ transplantation who are at high risk for the development of cutaneous malignancies.
Management of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Organ Transplant Recipients
TLDR
The challenge of managing posttransplant CSCC in the OTR population is addressed with a summary of the current therapeutic strategies in this patient cohort and the management of metastatic CSCC remains challenging.
The higher incidence of squamous cell carcinoma in renal transplant recipients is associated with increased telomere lengths.
Solar keratosis: Epidemiology, pathogenesis, presentation and treatment
TLDR
Traditional therapies, such as liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, are still popular, but newer choices are now providing further options with similar efficacy and superior adverse effect profiles, albeit at a higher cost.
Retinoids for Chemoprophylaxis of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
TLDR
The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters and the results will not be biased towards any particular religion or ethnic group.
The different telomere lengths in basal and squamous cell carcinomas also differ between the nontransplant and renal transplant population.
An investigation of Langerhans' cell function in aged skin
TLDR
Characterising the mechanistic basis for the reduced frequency and restricted mobility of epidermal LCs in the skin of the elderly demonstrated that changes in LC function in the elderly may not be associated with changes in systemic DC biology and cutaneous microenvironment changes are likely to be more relevant.

EFFECT OF TOPICAL TRETINOIN ON EPIDERMAL LANGERHANS’CELLS IN PHOTODAMAGED SKIN
TLDR
A study was performed to evaluate the possible effect of topical tretinoin on the number of Langerhans’cells in human beings.

TLDR
The epidemiology and clinical presentation of skin cancer during posttransplantation immunosuppression is described, pathogenic cofactors are discussed, and the optimal management for mild and severe skin cancer in transplant recipients is reviewed.
Use of acitretin for the skin complications in renal transplant recipients.
TLDR
Most patients treated with acitretin experienced subjective improvement and actinic keratoses and warts improved or disappeared and its effect on the skin malignancy rate was variable.
Topical tretinoin replenishes CD1a‐positive epidermal Langerhans cells in chronically photodamaged human skin
TLDR
This work asked whether topical tretinoin would reverse Langerhans cell depletion in chronically photodamaged skin and found that it would.
CD4 lymphocytopenia as a risk factor for skin cancers in renal transplant recipients.
TLDR
CD4 cell depletion is associated with skin cancer in long-term renal transplant recipients, and total lymphocyte and CD8 and CD19 cell counts were similar between the two groups.

TLDR
The high frequency of these skin tumors in transplant patients and their potential for progression require preventive and therapeutic measures: regular examination of the skin, strict advice about protection from sun exposure, excision of any suspect lesion, and treatment of warts that might be conducive to the development of skin cancers.

TLDR
The introduction of low‐dose acitretin proved to be a useful strategy in the long‐term reduction of skin cancer in renal transplant recipients with multiple skin cancers and extensive epidermal dysplasia.
Treatment of cutaneous neoplasia with etretinate in renal transplant recipients.
TLDR
In-vivo measures of the cutaneous cell-mediated immune response were unaltered, but cell kinetic studies demonstrated an increase in proliferative activity in sun-exposed skin during treatment, suggesting that the anti-tumour effect of etretinate is not due to a cytostatic action, and does not require an intact immune system.
Prevention of skin cancer and reduction of keratotic skin lesions during acitretin therapy in renal transplant recipients: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
TLDR
Acitretin 30 mg/d over 6 months had significantly more effect than placebo in the prevention of squamous cell carcinomas and reduced the occurrence of keratotic skin lesions in a group of renal transplant recipients with severe lesions.
