Patini R, Cordaro M, Marchesini D, Scilla F, Gioco G, Rupe C, D'Agostino MA, Lajolo C. Is Systemic Immunosuppression a Risk Factor for Oral Cancer? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3077. [PMID: 37370688 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15123077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Even if the relationship between immunosuppression and increased incidence of systemic cancers is well known, there is less awareness about the risk of developing oral cancer in immunosuppressed patients. The aim of this review was to evaluate the association between immunosuppression and the development of oral cancer. Two authors independently and, in duplicate, conducted a systematic literature review of international journals and electronic databases (MEDLINE via OVID, Scopus, and Web of Science) from their inception to 28 April 2023. The assessment of risk of bias and overall quality of evidence was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and GRADE system. A total of 2843 articles was identified, of which 44 met the inclusion criteria and were included in either the qualitative or quantitative analysis. The methodological quality of the included studies was generally high or moderate. The quantitative analysis of the studies revealed that immunosuppression should be considered a risk factor for the development of oral cancer, with a percentage of increased risk ranging from 0.2% to 1% (95% CI: 0.2% to 1.4%). In conclusion, the results suggest that a constant and accurate follow-up should be reserved for all immunosuppressed patients as a crucial strategy to intercept lesions that have an increased potential to evolve into oral cancer.

Clinical and pathological features associated with high-risk, multiple, and recurrent basal cell carcinomas: a retrospective cohort analysis from the Levantine coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Arch Dermatol Res 2023; 315:51-59. [PMID: 35059802 DOI: 10.1007/s00403-021-02316-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) data coming from the Levantine coast of the Mediterranean Sea are limited. The study aimed to primarily analyze the demographic, clinical, pathological, and prognostic characteristics of BCC in this region of the world and secondarily identify features associated with high-risk, recurrent, or multiple BCCs. Patients with at least one diagnosis of BCC registered in the pathology department between January 2015 and December 2019 were included in this analytical retrospective single-center cohort study. Patients with basal cell nevus syndrome were excluded. Patients' characteristics and pathological features were collected through file check for a first analysis. Risk factors and evolution were sought through a phone call interview for the second analysis. The first analysis included 506 BCCs corresponding to 365 patients with a mean age of 65 ± 15 years, twenty-two (6%) were less than 40 years old, 180 (49.3%) were women, and 85 (23.3%) had two or more BCCs. The second analysis included 279 BCCs corresponding to 205 patients. Periorificial and infiltrative BCCs were more frequent in men. Periorificial tumors were more frequently nodular or infiltrative and were associated with recurrence. Tumors with perineural involvement were histologically never nodular nor superficial. Recurrence was more frequent in BCCs having periorificial location, a size larger than 2 cm, or an infiltrative subtype. Multiple BCCs were more frequent in patients with light skin type or familial history of skin cancer. High-risk BCCs were more common in patients with low sun exposure.

Abstract
Evidence of the association between a personal history of basal cell carcinoma and the risk of non-cutaneous malignancies is conflicting. The aim of this study was to retrospectively clarify the risk of non-cutaneous cancers in individuals with basal cell carcinoma using nationwide Finnish registry data for 96,304 patients and 394,503 randomly selected population controls. In this study, individuals with basal cell carcinoma have an increased risk of other cancers (odds ratio (OR) 1.38; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.36-1.40). The risk was most prominent for lip cancer (OR 5.29; 95% CI 4.50-6.21), mycosis fungoides (OR 3.13; 95% CI 2.31-4.23) and soft tissue cancers (OR 2.77; 95% CI 2.43-3.16). In age-adjusted model, men had higher risk of cancers overall compared with women (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the study found increased overall cancer risk among patients with basal cell carcinoma compared with randomly selected population controls.

Abstract
Simple Summary Associations between thyroid cancer and breast cancer have been elucidated, in that patients with breast cancer have a greater risk of developing subsequent thyroid cancer. However, not much is known about the relationship other primary cancers and subsequent thyroid cancer. In this review, we completed a thorough review of the existing literature to understand the relationship between primary cancers and second primary thyroid cancer (SPTC). Our findings suggest that surveillance protocols should be considered for patients at a higher risk of SPTC, including those with primary breast, renal cell, basal cell, and ovarian cancers who are female and/or Caucasian. Abstract Background: It is critical to understand factors that may contribute to an increased risk of SPTC in order to develop surveillance protocols in high-risk individuals. This systematic review and meta-analysis will assess the association between primary malignancy and SPTC. Methods: A search of PubMed and Embase databases was completed in April 2020. Inclusion criteria included studies that reported the incidence or standardized incidence ratio of any primary malignancy and SPTC, published between 1980–2020. The PRISMA guidelines were followed and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was used to assess quality of studies. Results: 40 studies were included, which were comprised of 1,613,945 patients and 15 distinct types of primary cancers. In addition, 4196 (0.26%) patients developed SPTC following a mean duration of 8.07 ± 4.39 years. Greater risk of developing SPTC was found following primary breast (56.6%, 95%CI, 44.3–68.9, p < 0.001), renal cell (12.2%, 95%CI, 7.68–16.8, p < 0.001), basal cell (7.79%, 95%CI, 1.79–13.7, p = 0.011), and ovarian cancer (11.4%, 95%CI, 3.4–19.5, p = 0.005). SPTC patients were more likely to be females (RR = 1.58, 95%CI, 1.2–2.01, p < 0.001) and Caucasians (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Surveillance protocols should be considered for patients at a higher risk of SPTC, including those with primary breast, renal cell, basal cell and ovarian cancers who are female and/or Caucasian.

Sunlight exposure in association with risk of lymphoid malignancy: a meta-analysis of observational studies. Cancer Causes Control 2021; 32:441-457. [PMID: 33606147 DOI: 10.1007/s10552-021-01404-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Several observational studies have shown contradictory results regarding the association between sunlight exposure and the risk of malignant lymphoma. Thus, we aimed to systematically determine the association between sunlight exposure and lymphoid malignancy risk through a meta-analysis. METHODS A thorough search of four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus) was performed to identify eligible studies until 13 August 2020. A random-effects model was used to calculate risk estimates of sunlight exposure. The main outcome measure was the risk of lymphoid malignancy subtypes with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) according to various forms of solar ultraviolet radiation. RESULTS In total, 17 case-control studies and 9 cohort studies including 216,285 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 23,017 Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) patients were included in the final analysis. Personal sunlight exposure was significantly associated with a decreased risk of HL (OR 0.77; 95% CI 0.68-0.87) and NHL (OR 0.81; 95% CI 0.71-0.92), including all subtypes except T-cell lymphoma. Ambient sunlight exposure at residence was associated with a reduced risk of HL (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.81-0.95) and all NHL subtypes (OR 0.84; 95% CI 0.73-0.96), except for chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. As the number of sunburns and sunbaths increased, the risk of NHL tended to decrease. CONCLUSION While there was an observed protective effect both from case-control and prospective studies, substantial heterogeneity was found in the current study. Thus, more evidence is required to confirm that promoting sunlight exposure can prevent the development of lymphoid neoplasia.
