Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research in cancer development has led to the rapid emergence of numerous targeted anticancer therapies in the last decade. Targeted therapies, unlike standard chemotherapy agents that lead to systemic toxicities, are frequently associated with cutaneous adverse events, which may be responsible for dose reduction or therapy discontinuation. Given the rapid development of targeted anticancer treatments, dermatologists will be essential for the recognition of these cutaneous complications, particularly as the presence of dermatologic toxicities has been shown to have a positive correlation with response to therapy. Skin adverse events significantly influence the quality of life of patients under treatment with targeted drugs.

Authors are invited to submit research papers, reviews, clinical studies, and case reports concerning this issue.

The majority of pediatric patients are cured of their primary cancer with current advanced developments in pediatric cancer therapy. However, survivors often experience long-term complications from therapies for primary cancer. The delayed mortality rate has been decreasing with the effort to reduce the therapeutic exposure of patients with pediatric cancers. Our study investigates the incidence of sarcoma as second cancer in pediatric cancer survivors. We present a 9-year-old male who survived embryonal hepatoblastoma diagnosed at 22 months of age. At 4.5 years of age, he presented with a non-metastatic primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the left submandibular area. He has no evidence of recurrence of either cancer for 51 months after finishing all chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to identify the current rate of second sarcomas in pediatric cancer survivors. Our literature review and large population analysis emphasize the impact of sarcoma as a second malignancy and provide help to physicians caring for pediatric cancer survivors. Full article
