The Relationship Between Immunodepression and the Development of Skin Cancer
Sanches, Maria Mendonça; Travassos, Ana Rita; Soares-de-Almeida, LuisThe effects of immunodepression on several disease states have constituted an important area of research, leading to the identification of relevant associations between immunodepression and a vast set of comorbidities, including infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Research on the effects of immunodepression has mostly been conducted in individuals under immunodepression by the human immunod...

Mendonça Sanches, Maria; Travassos, Ana Rita; Soares-de-Almeida, LuísA cutaneous collision or contiguous tumor occurs when two or more cutaneous tumors coexist in a single lesion. These tumors usually have misleading clinical and histological presentations, making them a diagnostic challenge. Although several different combinations of collisions have been described we report an unusual case of a cutaneous collision tumour on the back of the patient involving an intradermal naevu...
The Impact of Field Cancerization in the Development of Skin Cancer
Travassos, Ana Rita; Mendonça Sanches, Maria; Soares-de-Almeida, LuísThe concept of field cancerization, described in various types of cancer, has been intensely studied in skin cancer. It can be defined as the process in which the cells in a tissue or organ are transformed, with genetic modifications, but with normal clinical and histologic features, prior to neoplastic development or coexisting with malignant cells, independently of clonality. Applying this concept to clinical...
