Thuong doc cao (TDC) is a Vietnamese traditional herbal formulation made from heat-eradicated herb medications. 100 randomly selected patients with cancers who were treating by Cobalt-60 radiotherapy were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 50 patients was served as intervention group, and the other served as control. Group 1 received TDC application and the other applied by the solution of 0.9% sodium. Results of radiotherapy in two groups, the effect of TDC on treatment and on self-reported feeling of patients were evaluated. It was found that TDC reduced the severity of skin lesions in irradiated areas. The patients could receive the expected irradiation doses. TDC provided the ease and cool feels, reduced the stretched and hot feels in irradiated areas. There was not any case of allergy or adverse effects.

In recent years, there has been a significant global increase in skin cancer incidence, which continues to pose a significant challenge to public health. This retrospective study aimed to comprehensively characterize the epidemiology of histopathologically diagnosed skin cancers at the Department of Dermatology, Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center from January 2013 to December 2022. The research encompassed an analysis of demographic and clinical profiles in 352 cases. The cases consisted of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (161, 46%), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (62, 18%), melanoma (21, 6%), mycosis fungoides (MF) (37, 11%), other cutaneous T-Cell lymphomas (11, 3%), mammary Paget’s disease (7, 2%), extramammary Paget’s disease (6, 1.7%), Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) (8, 2%), sebaceous carcinoma (3, 1%), Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) (1, 0.3%), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (1, 0.3%), angiosarcoma (2, 0.6%), Kaposi sarcoma (3, 0.9%), and cutaneous metastasis (29, 8%). Among the primary cutaneous malignancies, BCC, SCC, MF, and melanoma were the most frequently encountered types. The findings reveal a notable upward trend in all skin cancer incidence, and projections suggest a continued increase in the next five years. BCC and SCC were more common in males and affected predominantly sun-exposed areas, while melanoma exhibited a slight female preponderance and primarily affected the lower extremities (acral melanoma). These skin cancers were more common among elderly individuals. The study highlights the need for standardized documentation to improve data quality on epidemiology. This, in turn, can lead to improved early detection, prevention, and better management of this escalating global public health issue.

Syringoid eccrine carcinoma is a rare adnexal tumor of eccrine origin, and has metastatic potential and high recurrence rate following conventional surgical excision. Mohs micrographic surgery has been commonly used for various malignant skin cancers to minimize the defect after surgery, and to decrease the recurrence rate. We present a case of syringoid eccrine carcinoma successfully treated by Mohs micrographic surgery.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign epithelial tumor of odontogenic origin. CEOT is a benign but a locally infiltrative tumor. CEOT has two clinical variants: intraosseous (central) CEOT and extraosseous (peripheral) CEOT. The peripheral type is rare. In this paper, we report two cases of CEOT. The diagnoses of the cases were verified by histopathology. This study aims to explore the clinical and imaging appearances of CEOT and improve the understanding of the disease.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common head and neck cancer that is usually restricted to the mucosal surfaces and skin, so sometimes it is very difficult to diagnose a primary lesion. We report a case of a 73-year-old man who presented as a small skin ulcer and parotid mass. The pathologic diagnosis was a squamous cell carcinoma, although it was very difficult to distinguish between skin cancer invading the parotid gland and a primary SCC of the arotid gland extending to the skin. The patient was treated with surgical resection and radiation therapy.
