Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) account for up to 10,000 deaths annually in the United States. Most of the more than 700,000 SCCs diagnosed are cured by excision with clear margins; however, metastasis can occur despite seemingly adequate treatment in some cases. Immune-suppressed organ transplant recipients are 60 to 100 times more likely to develop SCC than immune-competent individuals. Transplant-associated SCCs occur more frequently and behave more aggressively, showing higher risk of recurrence and metastasis. This article identifies a potential role for interleukin-22 in driving SCC proliferation, particularly in solid organ transplant recipients taking cyclosporine.
皮肤鳞状细胞癌(SCC)在美国每年导致多达10000人死亡。在每年诊断出的70多万例SCC中,大多数通过切缘阴性的切除手术得以治愈;然而,在某些情况下,尽管治疗看似充分,仍可能发生转移。免疫抑制的器官移植受者患SCC的可能性比免疫功能正常的个体高60至100倍。与移植相关的SCC发生频率更高,侵袭性更强,复发和转移风险更高。本文确定了白细胞介素-22在驱动SCC增殖中的潜在作用,特别是在服用环孢素的实体器官移植受者中。
