Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin cancer is one of the most widespread cancers, with a significant global health effect. Some rare skin cancers include rare epithelial tumors such as Merkel cell carcinoma, adnexal tumors, advanced basal cell carcinoma, rare melanocytic proliferations such as melanocytomas, and atypical Spitz tumors, lymphoid neoplasms (T- and B-cell primary cutaneous lymphoproliferations), and several mesenchymal proliferations such as Kaposi’s sarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, angiosarcoma or pleomorphic dermal sarcoma, which may cause profound mortality or morbidity among affected patients.
Despite the availability of various improved approaches for detecting and treating skin cancer, it continues to be the leading cause of death throughout society. This Special Issue will focus on pathological and targeted facets, biomarkers and molecular markers, immunotherapy, and clinical updates of investigational drugs associated with rare skin cancers.
Dr. Cosimo Di Raimondo
