TL;DR: Results suggest that HPV-17 is involved in skin carcinogenesis in EV, because the flat wart-like lesions of EV very frequently change to malignant squamous cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: A patient with squamous cell carcinoma presenting with perineural metastasis who was successfully treated with combination chemotherapy and definitive radiation therapy is presented.
Abstract: Perineural metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma is quite rare. The treatment of such metastasis in the head and neck region is difficult due to base of skull or intracranial involvement by tumor. Surgery and radiotherapy may provide local control, but patients often fail distantly. We present a patient with squamous cell carcinoma presenting with perineural metastasis who was successfully treated with combination chemotherapy and definitive radiation therapy. Suggestions of therapeutic management are made of this uncommon clinical problem.

TL;DR: Patients with skin carcinoma when compared to controls did not have excess exposure to ultra violet radiation, did not show increased sensitivity to the effects of ultra violet Radiation, and did not exhibit differences in skin type, eye or hair colouring.
Abstract: A CASE control study of risk factors in patients with histologically proven skin carcinoma was undertaken. One hundred and twenty-one consecutive patients with skin carcinoma were compared with 121 patients with other malignancies individually matched for age and sex. The results indicated that patients with skin carcinoma when compared to controls did not have excess exposure to ultra violet radiation, did not show increased sensitivity to the effects of ultra violet radiation and did not exhibit differences in skin type, eye or hair colouring.
