#1
REVIEW
Kelly Fitzgerald, Katy K Tsai
The incidence of advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is increasing; of the 1.3 million nonmelanoma skin cancers that arise each year, approximately 20% are cSCC, and between 2-5% of these cases ultimately metastasize. However, there is no established consensus on first-line systemic treatment for those patients who have locally advanced or metastatic disease. Major classes of systemic agents include chemotherapy, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy, and immunotherapy; each is associated with a distinct set of adverse effects, and availability of data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to definitively guide treatment are limited...

REVIEW
Lance W Chapman, Siegrid S Yu, Sarah T Arron
Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a dermal spindle-cell sarcoma that is considered a superficial and clinically benign presentation of pleomorphic dermal sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. AFX appears clinically as a discrete red or pink nodule or papule, most commonly on the head and neck region of sun-damaged elderly patients. Histologic findings on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining reveal spindle-shaped, large, and pleomorphic tumor cells throughout the dermis...

In this chapter, we present the use of whole slide imaging (WSI) and dermoscopy in the field of dermatology. Image digitization has allowed for increasing computer-assisted clinical decision-making. An introduction to common digital imaging data sources such as WSI and dermoscopy is provided. We also review some commonly used image quantification methods and their potential applications in dermatology. Finally, we review how machine learning approaches utilize novel large dermatology image datasets.

In the past decade, machine learning and artificial intelligence have made significant advancements in pattern analysis, including speech and natural language processing, image recognition, object detection, facial recognition, and action categorization. Indeed, in many of these applications, accuracy has reached or exceeded human levels of performance. Subsequently, a multitude of studies have begun to examine the application of these technologies to health care, and in particular, medical image analysis. Perhaps the most difficult subdomain involves skin imaging because of the lack of standards around imaging hardware, technique, color, and lighting conditions...

REVIEW
Daniel I Schlessinger, Guillaume Chhor, Olivier Gevaert, Susan M Swetter, Justin Ko, Roberto A Novoa
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to medicine has considerable potential within dermatology, where the majority of diagnoses are based on visual pattern recognition. Opportunities for AI in dermatology include the potential to automate repetitive tasks; optimize time-consuming tasks; extend limited medical resources; improve interobserver reliability issues; and expand the diagnostic toolbox of dermatologists. To achieve the full potential of AI, however, developers must aim to create algorithms representing diverse patient populations; ensure algorithm output is ultimately interpretable; validate algorithm performance prospectively; preserve human-patient interaction when necessary; and demonstrate validity in the eyes of regulatory bodies...

Pharmacogenomics aims to associate human genetic variability with differences in drug phenotypes in order to tailor drug treatment to individual patients. The massive amount of genetic data generated from large cohorts of patients with variable drug phenotypes have led to advances in this field. Understanding the application of pharmacogenomics in dermatology could inform clinical practice and provide insight for future research. The Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base and the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium are among the resources to help clinicians and researchers navigate the many gene-drug associations that have already been discovered...

Miroslav Blumenberg
Skinomics is a field of bioinformatics applied specifically to skin biology and, by extension, to dermatology. Skinomics has been expanding into extensive genome-wide association studies, eg, of psoriasis, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, and the studies of the microbiome. Here, the current state of the field of transcriptomics is reviewed, including the studies of the gene expression in human skin under several healthy and disease conditions. Specifically, transcriptional studies of epidermal differentiation, skin aging, effects of cytokines, inflammation with emphases on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and wound healing are reviewed...

Bioinformatics uses computationally intensive approaches to make sense of complex biological data sets. Here we review the role of bioinformatics in 3 areas of biology: genetics, transcriptomics, and microbiomics. Examples of bioinformatics in each area are given with respect to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, related inflammatory disorders at the forefront of bioinformatic research in dermatology. While bioinformatic technologies and analyses have traditionally been developed and deployed in siloes, the field of integrative omics is on the horizon...

REVIEW
Amanda K Suggs, Selina S Hamill, Paul M Friedman
Melasma is a common, acquired, chronic cutaneous pigment disorder that is often difficult to treat and has a high recurrence rate. The goal of a melasma treatment regimen is to decrease pigment production and increase elimination. Topical tyrosinase inhibitors block melanin synthesis and thereby reduce pigment production. Peels and laserand light-based devices increase melanin elimination. A multimodality treatment approach targeting both pigment production and elimination is necessary to achieve equilibrium and disease remission...

REVIEW
Laura Schilling, Nazanin Saedi
Many medical conditions can cross over the territories of various specialties. These conditions may benefit from, or even require, a multidisciplinary approach. While ideally this leads to a collaborative and coveted patient-centered care model, it can also give rise to competitive turf wars. A popular topic that has entered the turf wars is vaginal rejuvenation. Vaginal rejuvenation through light- and energy-based devices is a rapidly expanding field, quickly gaining the attention of dermatologists and gynecologists alike...
