Abstrakt: Background: Nonmelanotic skin cancer (NMSC) refers to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and basal cell carcinoma. There have been many factors linked with the development of cSCC; however, ultraviolet radiation is the most notable culprit. Mutations in RAS signaling genes, the CDKN2A gene, and genes encoding components of the NOTCH signaling pathways increase the risk of developing cSCC. Many therapeutic approaches are available for cSCC, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and topical treatment. As cSCC affects millions of people worldwide, there is increasing demand to find more minimally invasive treatment approaches, such as hyaluronic acid therapy.
Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted on the available literature regarding NMSC, and various treatment strategies were identified.
Conclusions: Recent research investigating whether long-lived cancer-resistant species could yield any potential clues against skin carcinogenesis has highlighted naked mole rats ( Heterocephalus glaber ). One of the proposed mechanisms associated with this tumor resistance has been the accumulation of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA) in the epidermis. Researchers were able to conclude that the CD44/HMWHA interaction mediates cancer cell apoptosis and restricts cell cycle progression as a mechanism of cancer resistance in naked mole rats.
