  1. Role of CDC25 Phosphatases in Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer

    Al-Matouq, Jenan AhmedCreighton University2014

    Non-melanoma skin cancers, the most common cancers in the United States, result from chronic exposure to ultraviolet irradiation (UV). UV-induced DNA damage activates cell cycle checkpoints through a mechanism involving degradation of the cyclin dependent kinase activators, the cell division cycle …

  2. Men and Women are Not Just From Different Planets: The Role of Sex-Based Differences in the Prevention of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer

    Burns, Erin MarieThe Ohio State University2013

    There are over 3.5 million new diagnoses of skin cancer each year in more than 2 million patients, making skin cancer more prevalent than all other cancers. While the risk of developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, the more deadly type of non-melanoma skin cancer, is three times greater in …

    Fraser, Tyler Malcolm2018

    <p>Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common malignant tumor, representing more than a third of all malignant tumors combined and the incidence is increasing every year. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the most dominant factor contributing to tumor initiation and progression. …

  10. The Use of Sphingomyelin to Protect Against UV Induced DNA Damage in Human Keratinocytes

    Campbell, Kevin2015

    <p>Non melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a serious condition caused by chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure that leads to DNA damage in skin. UV radiation has the potential to lead to DNA damage, which triggers biochemical pathways within a cell. The result is that the cell either undergoes cell cycle …
