Coffee
consumption associated with decreased risk for basal cell carcinoma -
Science Daily, 10/24/11 - "Data were taken from the
Nurses' Health Study (Brigham and Women's Hospital) and the Health Professionals
Follow-Up Study ... women who consumed more than three cups of coffee per day
had a 20 percent reduction in risk for BCC, and men who consumed more than three
cups per day had a nine percent risk reduction compared with people who consumed
less than one cup per month"

polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate suppresses melanoma growth by inhibiting
inflammasome and IL-1β secretion - Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2011 Oct 1 -
"This paper provides a novel mechanism for EGCG-induced melanoma inhibition: inflammasome downregulation→decreased IL-1β secretion→decreased NF-κB
activities→decreased cell growth. In addition, it suggests inflammasomes and
IL-1β could be potential targets for future melanoma therapeutics" - See

Zyflamend
Mediates Therapeutic Induction of Autophagy to Apoptosis in Melanoma Cells -
Nutr Cancer. 2011 Jul 11 - "Zyflamend, a unique multiherbal extract preparation,
is a promising antiinflammatory agent that has also been suggested to regulate
multiple pathways in cancer progression. As Zyflamend contains ingredients that
can suppress tumor cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis
through regulation of inflammatory pathway products, we hypothesized that this
preparation might inhibit melanoma proliferation. To test this hypothesis, we
studied the effect of Zyflamend on melanoma proliferation. Here, we present that
Zyflamend inhibits melanoma growth by regulating the autophagy-apoptosis switch.
Based on the responsible molecular mechanisms of Zyflamend, our study highlights
the importance of the use of herbal preparations for the prevention and
treatment of cancer" - See

Vitamin D, calcium combo may halve melanoma risk some women -
USATODAY.com, 6/29/11 - "The supplements were 1,000
milligrams of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D daily ... Over about seven
years of follow-up, the women taking the supplements who had had previous
non-melanoma skin cancer reduced their risk of developing melanoma by 57
percent, compared with similar women not taking the supplements" -

omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and cutaneous p53 expression in an

"There was an inverse association, showing a
dose-response relationship, between total n-3 fatty acid serum
concentrations and p53 immunoreactivity in the whole epidermis as well as
basal layer. This was due particularly to eicosapentanoic acid and
docosahexanoic acid concentrations. There was no evidence for increased p53
immunoreactivity in participants with relatively high serum n-6 fatty acid
concentrations. The ratio of n-3 to n-6 fatty acid concentrations was not
associated with p53 immunoreactivity ... The prospect that increased intake
of n-3 fatty acids could help prevent skin cancer is attractive" -

Skin Cancer Patients More Likely to Be Deficient in Vitamin D - Time
Magazine, 10/19/10 - "The results point out that while dermatologists are

themselves from sunlight ... When compared with the general population, patients
with basal cell nevus syndrome had lower average vitamin D levels and were three

Antioxidant Study Suggests Possibility of "Sunburn Pill" - Medscape,

reduce a person's lifetime risk of melanoma and also minimize the problems
associated with taking a daily medication" - See

Inverse
association between serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels and non-melanoma skin

had 47% lower odds of NMSC (95% CI: 0.30-0.93, p = 0.026) compared to those
in the lowest quintile. Our results suggest that a diagnosis of NMSC is not
a surrogate for adequate 25(OH)D levels or increased UV exposure, and high
25(OH)D levels may be associated with a reduced risk of NMSC" - See

... Although there were no associations between baseline serum carotenoids
or alpha-tocopherol concentrations and incidence of BCC or SCC, baseline
serum selenium concentrations showed strong inverse associations with both
BCC and SCC tumor incidence. Compared with participants with lowest selenium
concentrations at baseline (0.4-1.0 micromol/L), those with the highest
serum selenium concentrations (1.3-2.8 micromol/L) had a decreased incidence
of BCC tumors (multivariate relative risk, 0.43; 95% confidence interval,
0.21-0.86; Ptrend = 0.02) and SCC tumors (multivariate relative risk, 0.36;
95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.82; Ptrend = 0.02)"

Broccoli And Cabbage-based Drug Could Inhibit Melanoma - Science Daily,
3/1/09 - "We have developed drugs from naturally
occurring compounds that can inhibit the growth of tumors in mice by 50 to
60 percent with a very low dose ... Robertson and his colleagues previously
showed the therapeutic potential of targeting the Akt3 protein in inhibiting
the development of melanoma. The search for a drug to block the protein led
them to a class of compounds called isothiocyanates ... These naturally
occurring chemicals found in cruciferous vegetables are known to have
certain cancer-fighting properties ... Selenium deficiency is common in
cancer patients ... the selenium-enhanced compounds significantly reduced
the production of Akt3 protein and shut down its signaling network"

Topical Gel Treats Precancerous Skin Condition - WebMD, 3/15/12 -
"Actinic keratoses are typically red, scaly skin lesions
that can over time develop into a type of skin cancer. They can often be found
on sun-exposed areas of the body such as the face, scalp, arms, and legs ... The
new gel, Picato (ingenol mebutate), is applied once daily for two or three days,
depending on the area being treated. Other available topical treatments must be
used for several weeks, and often irritate the skin. Cryotherapy, or freezing
the affected skin area, is also used but can sometimes leave a scar ... Because
the new gel is only used for a few days, any irritation is usually short-lived.
The short duration also makes people more likely to stay the course ... 42% of
people in the first group and 34% of those in the second group who got the new
gel showed complete clearance of their lesions"

women to develop a common form of skin cancer but medical science doesn't know
why ... male mice had lower levels of an important skin antioxidant than female
mice and higher levels of certain cancer-linked inflammatory cells ... The
antioxidant, a protein called catalase, inhibits skin cancer by mopping up
hydrogen peroxide and other DNA-damaging reactive-oxygen compounds that form
during exposure to ultraviolet B light (UVB), a common source of sunburn and
cancer-causing skin damage ... women may have more natural antioxidant
protection in the skin than men"

FDA Approves Skin Cancer Drug Zelboraf - ABC News, 8/17/11 -
"The drug, known as Zelboraf, could offer hope for
patients with metastatic melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery ...
Approval of this drug is extremely significant because the treatments we have
had up until this year were well known to have no effect on overall survival ...
The drug specifically targets tumors with the genetic mutation known as BRAF
V600E. The agency also approved a diagnostic test that will determine whether
someone has the mutation ... Unlike chemotherapy, which only stops mutated cells
from dividing, Zelboraf shuts down the abnormal signals of the tumor cells that
are caused by the genetic mutation and stops the cells from dividing, without
affecting healthy cells"

Doxycycline
inhibits the adhesion and migration of melanoma cells by inhibiting the
expression and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) - Cancer Lett.
2009 May 29 - "doxycycline inhibits the adhesion and
migration of melanoma cells. Afterwards, the cells undergo apoptosis (aniokis).
Remarkably, doxycycline also inhibits the expression and phosphorylation of
focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a protein tyrosine kinase involved in the
regulation of cell adhesion and migration. We further demonstrate that
doxycycline down-regulates the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9, and its effects
are stronger than those of an Integrin beta1 antibody. Finally, we suggest that
doxycycline might exert its anti-tumor effects by inhibiting FAK signaling
pathway. These results provide an insight into the possible mechanisms that
underlie the multiple drug actions of doxycycline. The potential use of
doxycycline in anti-tumor treatment is promising and warrants further studies"
