Abstract
Skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer globally and is preventable. Various risk factors contribute to different types of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. These risk factors encompass both extrinsic, such as UV exposure and behavioral components, and intrinsic factors, especially involving genetic predisposition. However, the specific risk factors vary among the skin cancer types, highlighting the importance of precise knowledge to facilitate appropriate early diagnosis and treatment for at-risk individuals. Better understanding of the individual risk factors has led to the development of risk scores, allowing the identification of individuals at particularly high risk. These advances contribute to improved prevention strategies, emphasizing the commitment to mitigating the impact of skin cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin cancer survivors are more vulnerable to subsequent skin cancers and other malignancies, but previous studies have not examined in detail their sun protection behavior prevalence by sociodemographic factors. We aimed to understand the sociodemographic disparities in the prevalence of three important types of sun protection behaviors: using sunscreen, seeking shade, and wearing protective clothing, among skin cancer survivors and those without skin cancer history. METHODS We used the 2015 U.S. National Health Interview Survey to analyze 29,523 participants, of which 772 were skin cancer survivors and 28,751 were those without skin cancer history. We assessed overall and specific sun protection behavior prevalence based on using sunscreen, seeking shade, and wearing protective clothing. Weighted Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios. RESULTS Melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer survivors had similar overall sun protection behavior (p > .05). Among all skin cancer survivors, 36.0% infrequently used sunscreen, 50.2% infrequently wore protective clothing, 47.8% infrequently sought shade, and 30.0% lacked frequent overall sun protection, which significantly differed from those without skin cancer history (p < .0001). The prevalence of frequent overall sun protection behavior was lower for those who were younger at survey, males, less educated, single or never married, or lived in poverty, regardless of their skin cancer history (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS By identifying subpopulations with higher prevalence of infrequent sun protection among those with or without skin cancer history, our findings may encourage efforts to reduce sociodemographic disparities in sun protection behaviors and promote primary and tertiary skin cancer prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer diagnosis had been linked to an increased risk of melanoma in several reports. The aim of the current study was to assess the role of genetics, increased surveillance, and radiation treatment in patients with a dual diagnosis of breast cancer and melanoma (DBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients treated at Sheba Medical Center between 2007 and 2021 with DBM were included in the cohort. Data on family history, genetic tests, characteristics, and treatment of both cancers were collected. The proportion of patients with a pathogenic variant (PV) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes was compared to a control group of patients with breast cancer. The proportion of patients presenting with in-situ disease was compared to the national registry data. RESULTS The cohort included 222 DBM patients of whom 114 had documentation of genetic testing. Twenty patients tested positive for PVs of which 13 (11%) were in BRCA genes. This was comparable to the proportion in patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer (736; 19%). The proportion of melanoma diagnosed at stage 0 was comparable to the national proportion ( N = 40; 30% vs. 28%, respectively). In comparison to the national registry, a larger proportion of breast cancers were ductal carcinoma in situ or lobular carcinoma in situ [10% in the registry vs. 19% (22) in the cohort; P < 0.003]. CONCLUSIONS In patients with DBM we did not find an increased proportion of PVs in BRCA genes. Our findings suggest that the increased standardized incidence ratio of the dual diagnosis may be partially explained by increased surveillance and detection of earlier-stage cancers.

Abstract
Background: The presence of a second primary cancer (SPC) in patients with pleural mesothelioma (PM) may impact overall survival and suggest a common mechanism of carcinogenesis or an underlying germline genetic alteration. Methods: We evaluated the occurrence of SPCs within PM cases collected from 2000 to 2018 by the Lombardy Mesothelioma Registry and their prognostic implications. Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to estimate median survival times, together with univariate and multivariate Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of death. Results: The median overall survival (OS) of the entire study population (N = 6646) was 10.9 months (95% CI: 10.4–11.2); patient age and histotype were the strongest prognostic factors. No substantial survival difference was observed by the presence of an SPC (10.5 months in 1000 patients with an SPC vs. 10.9 months in 5646 patients in the non-SPC group, HR 1.03, p = 0.40). Shorter OS in the SPC group was only observed in 150 patients with the non-epithelioid subtype (median OS of 5.4 vs. 7.1 months, HR 1.21, p = 0.03). Conclusions: The diagnosis of an SPC did not influence the outcome of PM patients in the overall study population but was associated with shorter OS in non-epithelioid cases. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of SPCs as markers of genetic susceptibility in mesothelioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent large cohorts have reported that melanoma survivors are at risk of developing second keratinocyte carcinoma (KC). However, the detailed proportion and risk are still unknown. We aimed to comprehensively analyze the risk of developing keratinocyte carcinoma after primary melanoma. METHODS We conducted systematic literature research in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library published prior to September 13, 2021. Proportion and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) with its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were pooled for assessing the risk. RESULTS A total of 15 studies encompassing 168,286 patients were included in our analysis. The pooled proportions of melanoma survivors that developed a subsequent basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and KC were 4.11% (95% CI, 1.32-6.90), 2.54% (95% CI, 1.78-3.31), and 5.45% (95% CI, 3.06-7.84), respectively. The risks of developing a second BCC, SCC, and KC in melanoma survivors were 5.3-fold (SIR 5.30; 95% CI, 4.87-5.77), 2.6-fold (SIR 2.58; 95% CI, 1.33-5.04), and 6.2-fold (SIR 6.17; 95% CI, 3.66-10.39) increased in comparison with the general population. Both fixed effects and random effects models were applied in conducting meta-analysis and reached a consistent conclusion. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated melanoma survivors are at elevated risk of experiencing second primary BCC and SCC, which suggested the significance of surveillance for second primary KC and efforts for prevention in patients with a history of melanoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study is to assess the global risk of extracolonic secondary primary cancers (SPCs) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Studies of SPC in patients with CRC were included if they reported the standardised incidence ratio (SIR) for extracolonic SPCs in patients with CRC compared with the general population. Pooled summary estimates were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 7,716,750 patients with CRC from 13 retrospective cohort studies that reported extracolonic SPC incidence were included. The overall risk of several SPCs was significantly higher in patients with CRC compared with the general population, including cancers of the urinary bladder (pooled SIR 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-1.33; p = 0.003), female genital tract (1.88, 1.07-3.31; p = 0.03), kidney (1.50, 1.19-1.89; p = 0.0007), thorax (lung, bronchus and mediastinum) (1.16, 1.01-1.32; p = 0.03), small intestine (4.26, 2.58-7.01; p < 0.0001), stomach (1.22, 1.07-1.39; p = 0.003), and thyroid (1.40, 1.28-1.53; p < 0.0001), as well as melanoma (1.28, 1.01-1.62; p = 0.04). There was also a decreased risk of developing cancer of the gall bladder (0.75, 0.60-0.94; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Patients with CRC had a significantly increased risk of extracolonic SPCs compared with the general population. These findings highlight the need to develop research strategies for the management of second primary cancer in patients with CRC.

Abstract
Multiple primary malignancies (MPM) are described as two or more primary tumors within the same individual. The impact of MPM on the tumor microenvironment among patients with melanoma is poorly understood. Here, we describe this unique group of patients who have both advanced melanoma and at least one other primary malignancy and report their survival outcomes. In this study, patients with advanced melanoma and a second primary malignancy were identified. Medical records were reviewed for cancer treatment history. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to derive survival curves and estimate overall survival (OS), and log-rank tests were used to compare OS. Among 11 MPM patients, the most common non-melanoma cancers were breast (n = 3) and thyroid (n = 3). Median OS was 153.5 months for all patients. Median OS for synchronous MPM (sMPM) and metachronous MPM (mMPM) were 83.1 and 196.7 months, respectively (p= 0.10). Median OS was not reached when melanoma was diagnosed first, and 153.5 months when diagnosed second (p= 0.45). For six patients receiving immunotherapy for melanoma, there was a 100% complete response rate. In conclusion, patients with melanoma are at risk of secondary malignancies, including breast and thyroid cancer. The timing of secondary malignancies may impact prognosis. Further study of the impact of immunotherapy on MPM is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Melanoma in situ (MIS) is among the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the United States. Emerging data suggest that MIS is associated with an increased risk of developing a second primary malignancy (SPM). OBJECTIVES To determine trends in MIS-associated SPMs and identify MIS-specific features that increase SPM risk. METHODS In this retrospective population-based study, we identified 90,075 patients who were diagnosed with MIS between 1973 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The risk of developing an SPM among these individuals was compared to individuals without a diagnosis of MIS. The risk of developing an SPM among patients with a diagnosis of MIS was also increased over time. RESULTS Patients with a diagnosis of MIS had an increased relative risk (RR) of developing an SPM as compared to the general population with an identical age, sex, race, and follow-up period. The RR of a metachronous malignancy in MIS patients also increased over time, as follows: 1.16 (95 % CI: 1.07-1.26), 1.19 (95 % CI: 1.14-1.23), 1.30 (95 % CI: 1.27-1.33), and 1.52 (95 % CI: 1.49-1.56) in 1973-1982, 1983-1992, 1993-2002, and 2003-2015, respectively (P < 0.05). In addition, there was a direct correlation between the number of MIS lesions and SPM risk; ≥1, ≥2, and ≥3 tumors portended a 1.5-2, 2-3, and 4-5-fold increased risk of developing an SPM, respectively. CONCLUSIONS MIS is associated with an increased risk of developing an SPM and therefore individuals with a history of MIS may benefit from close medical surveillance.

Abstract
The risk factors for melanoma in adolescents are similar to those in adults; however, it remains unclear whether these risk factors are also associated with melanoma in children. Epidemiological studies in the literature have reported a logarithmic increase in melanoma incidence after the age of 10 years. This may, in part, reflect the acute and chronic exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation during childhood. However, it appears unlikely that the cumulative exposure to UV radiation alone could explain such a sharp increase in melanoma incidence at the beginning of adolescence. It has been suggested that circulating sex hormones, the levels of which increase during puberty, may play a role in melanoma initiation and progression in predisposed individuals through binding to specific sex steroid receptors. The association between a longer cumulative exposure to sex hormones and the risk of melanoma may be supported by the reported epidemiological association between melanoma and several other sex hormone-related types of cancer, such as breast and prostate cancer, in which the enhanced exposure to androgens and estrogens was found to be directly associated with pubertal onset. Therefore, determining the association between pubertal onset and melanoma development may improve the current understanding of melanoma pathophysiology.

Standardised incidence ratio (SIR) for primary cutaneous melanoma after breast carcinoma ranged from 1.16 to 5.13 and ranged from 1.03 to 4.10 for primary breast carcinoma after cutaneous melanoma. Epidemiological studies highlight age, gender and use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy as potential risk factors for second primary cancers (SPCs). Mutations in BRCA2, CDKN2A, CDK4 and BAP1 may partly underlie any SPC association. The impact of socio-cultural factors and surveillance bias may be attributed to the findings of SPC partially or entirely. In conclusion, this study has highlighted the association between breast carcinoma and melanoma and identified various factors for further research and the optimised management of patients with both cancers.

Abstract
Survivors of invasive melanoma have an increased risk of developing second primary cancers; however, similar risks associated with in situ melanoma have not been established. We evaluated 39,872 survivors of first primary in situ melanoma diagnosed from 1982 through 2012 in Queensland, Australia. Relative risk of second nonmelanoma primary cancers was estimated from standardized incidence ratios with 95% confidence intervals. A total of 4,823 (12%) in situ melanoma survivors developed a second primary cancer. A small increased risk (6%) compared with the general population was found. In those younger than 50 years, risk was increased by 14% for all cancers combined. In situ melanoma survivors had significantly increased risks of developing lip, thyroid, pancreatic, and brain cancers and decreased risks of head and neck, and lung cancers. Male in situ melanoma survivors had a significantly increased risk of prostate cancer; female survivors had an increased risk of thyroid cancer and lymphoid leukemia. Findings indicate that in situ melanoma may predict the diagnosis of certain second primary cancers. This altered risk may be due to biological, behavioral, or genetic factors or increased medical surveillance, and it requires further investigation, particularly among people younger than 50 years.

Abstract
A 61-year-old woman presented with a diagnosis of metastatic invasive lobular carcinoma of the right breast, and after treatment it had regressed or was stable except for a scalp nodule. When biopsied, the outer edges of the scalp lesion had findings consistent with breast carcinoma; however, the bulk of the tumor's pathology was consistent with melanoma. It appeared that most of the tumor was a highly vascularized melanoma with lobular breast carcinoma noted at its edges.

Abstract
Loss of CD26 surface expression on the circulating malignant T-cell is the most widely accepted diagnostic marker in patients with leukemic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). CTCL cases with reemergence of CD7 and/or CD26 surface expression are unusual and of uncertain prognosis. We report the case of an erythrodermic leukemic mycosis fungoides patient who had achieved temporary remission after several months on multimodality immunotherapy and extracorporeal photopheresis, but who relapsed with aggressive disease phenotypically characterized by CD4+ T-cells with high CD26 expression. Polymerase chain reaction studies and high-throughput sequencing analyses from peripheral blood mononuclear cells at presentation and relapse consistently showed an identical clonal T-cell receptor suggesting evolution of her original malignant clone which lacked CD26 expression. Interestingly, quantitative expression of the sialomucin, CD164, mirrored her clinical picture, thus favoring its reliability as a novel biomarker in CTCL.
