“…In line with previous studies [10,15,21,25,27,33,34,52], an initial skin cancer diagnosis was found to be associated with an increased risk of colon, breast and prostate cancer. For breast cancer, the relationship was most pronounced after a primary diagnosis of CMM.…”

“…The risk of thyroid cancer was significantly increased, both after an initial CMM (both sexes) and SCC (women only), also consistent with previous findings [11,21,25-27,31]. Common risk factors such as genetic or environmental exposure have been suggested to explain this association [25].…”

“…First, UVR impairs the immune system, both locally in the skin and systemically [44-46]. Moreover, immunodeficiency as a result of the disease itself [27,47,48], genetic factors [44] or previous treatment with radiation or chemotherapy [49,50], are all potentially shared risk factors.…”

BackgroundSkin cancer survivors experience an increased risk for subsequent malignancies but the associated risk factors are poorly understood. This study examined the risk of a new primary cancer following an initial skin cancer and assessed risk factors associated with second primary cancers.MethodsAll invasive cutaneous malignant melanomas (CMM, N = 28 069) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC, N = 24 620) diagnosed in Norway during 1955–2008 were included. Rates of new primary cancers in skin cancer survivors were compared to rates of primary malignancies in the general population using standardized incidence ratios (SIR). Discrete-time logistic regression models were applied to individual-level data to estimate cancer risk among those with and without a prior skin cancer, accounting for residential region, education, income, parenthood, marital status and parental cancer status, using a 20% random sample of the entire Norwegian population as reference. Further analyses of the skin cancer cohort were undertaken to determine risk factors related to subsequent cancers.ResultsDuring follow-up, 9608 new primary cancers occurred after an initial skin cancer. SIR analyses showed 50% and 90% increased risks for any cancer after CMM and SCC, respectively (p < 0.01). The logistic regression model suggested even stronger increase after SCC (130%). The highest risk was seen for subsequent skin cancers, but several non-skin cancers were also diagnosed in excess: oral, lung, colon, breast, prostate, thyroid, leukemia, lymphoma and central nervous system. Factors that were associated with increased risk of subsequent cancers include male sex, older age, lower residential latitude, being married and low education and income. Parental cancer did not increase the risk of a subsequent cancer after SCC, but was a significant predictor among younger CMM survivors.ConclusionsOur results provide information on shared environmental and genetic risk factors for first and later cancers and may help to identify individuals at high risk for subsequent cancers, which will be important as skin cancer incidence continues to rise.

“…This affection is either related to pain and burning sensations, or due to the psychosocial impairment resulting from anxiety and the burden of a chronic and potentially malignant disease [1][2][3]. Subjective patient centered outcome measures are becoming increasingly important specifically with regard to the current trend towards the evaluation of health care in terms of patient reported benefits [4], as the severity evaluation of mucosal conditions is often underestimated by physicians [5,6]. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) was developed to quantify the oral health-related quality of life [7].…”

“…Moreover, patients and physicians evaluate differently the severity of a disease and its impact on quality of life (QoL). In previous studies, different degrees of agreement between patients and physicians were observed in the evaluation of both QoL and psychological problems of patients, depending on the disease 11,12 …”
