Dr. Lauren Crow on her experience as an IAMP mentee:

As someone who has based my career path on the awesome examples set by my many ITSCC mentors, I was ecstatic to be chosen to participate in the leadership program. It has been very fun and informative to meet with our small group to hear the quarterly talks and discussions, and to bounce ideas off so many great research minds. I am excited to work with my mentor, Dr Nathalie Zeitouni, on a review article and to talk alongside her in a transplant Derm forum at the upcoming AAD. These opportunities gained through the IAMP program are laying the foundation for a career giving back to patients and colleagues through collaborative research.

Mohs Surgery or Micrographic Surgery is a procedure performed by board-certified dermatologists with additional training in dermatologic surgery. If diagnosed with skin cancer, you may be referred to a Mohs Surgeon for treatment. A Mohs surgery aims to remove all of the skin cancer while protecting the healthy skin around it. The skin cancer is removed and checked under the microscope right away while the patient is still in the office. Once all of the cancer has been removed, the wound is closed. Mohs Surgery reduces the need for other treatments or more surgery.

Sun Safety is necessary all year round. Harmful UV rays can reach your skin even on a gloomy, cloudy day. It’s important to protect your skin and follow sun-safety guidelines throughout the year, not just during the summer.

What is an Actinic Keratosis? An AK is a pre-cancerous skin lesion that can develop into Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). It appears as a rough scaly patch on the skin. 58 million Americans have one or more AKs.

Follow our sun safety tips and protect your skin from sun damage early!

What are the warning signs of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) on the skin?

The American Association of Dermatology (AAD) lists the following as things to watch out for!

SCC on the skin can appear as:

A rough reddish scaly area
An open sore
A brown spot that looks like an age spot
A firm, dome-shaped growth
A wart-like growth
A horn-shaped lesion growing on the skin
A sore developing from an old scar

SCC can also appear:
Inside the mouth as a sore or smooth red/white patch
In the ge****ls or the a**s as a raised red area or a wart-like sore
In the nails as a wart-like sore or a red, brown, or black line beneath a nail

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is most common on the sun-exposed skin such as the face, the lips, the bald scalp or the hands.

Organ Transplant recipients are more likely than the general population to develop skin cancer. It is critical to protect your skin from sun damage to prevent the development of skin cancers!

Sunscreen is your best friend!

ITSCC and Transplant Families are collaborating to raise awareness on the importance of dermatological care for pediatric transplant patients! Transplant patients are at a higher risk for skin cancer, skin infection, and cosmetic issues like acne and as such, sun safety and frequent skin examinations should be a part of their medical care.

Transplant Families' mission is to unite families who have children with solid organ or bone marrow transplants by providing inspiration, support, and education. We aim to help patients and families make the most of life before, during, and after transplant.

The International immunosuppression & Transplant Skin Cancer Collaborative (ITSCC) is an organization of physicians, surgeons and scientists from multiple disciplines dedicated to advancing the care and understanding of skin cancer in organ transplant recipients and other immunosuppressed patients. We aim to educate patients, researchers, and care teams on the dermatological care unique to transplant recipients and other immunosuppressed patients.

Transplant recipients are susceptible to infections due to their immunosuppressive medications. These include bacterial, viral and fungal skin infections.

Among bacterial skin infections, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus are often the main culprits.

Viral infections are most commonly caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Herpes Virus and Molluscum. HPV is responsible for warts. There are several Herpes Viruses and these may cause cold sores or ge***al herpes, shingles, and infectious mononucleosis or “mono”. Molluscum Contagiosum causes flesh-colored or pink dome-shaped bumps on the skin.

Fungal infections include Tinea Versicolor, Onychomycosis, Tinea Pedis and Tinea Cruris. In Tinea Versicolor, overgrowth of fungus on the skin can result in uneven skin color or scaling and may be itchy. Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nails, often the toenails. Tinea Pedis is a fungal infection of the feet that causes itchiness and redness in the soles of the feet and the spaces between the toes. Finally, Tinea cruris is a fungal infection of the groin where the skin becomes itchy, red and scaly.
