CONCLUSION: Karnofsky score is the only parameter that appears to be associated with TD, with patients with worse scores having a shorter TD, probably due to better medical follow-up. Improved knowledge among general practitioners concerning the initial signs of the disease should shorten TD and accelerate the institution of appropriate therapy.

DISCUSSION: Although illegal, the trade in skin whitening products continues to grow because it is profitable and takes full advantage of the success of ethnic cosmetics. In Mayotte, as in metropolitan France and Africa, the existence of SW is acknowledged but is still taboo. However, a number of specific characteristics are seen in Mayotte: SW is rarely performed on the whole body, salicylic acid is added to a topical corticosteroid, and the traditional Mahoran mask, the "mzindzano", is still worn for photoprotection.

He acknowledged that part of the slow start may stem from controversy the program generated at the AAD's annual meeting in 2008, most notably by the late dermatopathologist A. Bernard Ackerman.

A new drug that inhibits the hedgehog signaling pathway has shown “remarkable” antitumor activity against basal cell carcinoma and medulloblastoma, according to two reports. The hedgehog signaling pathway regulates cell growth and differentiation during early development but is inactive in healthy adults. However, it appears that mutations in components of the pathway can cause malignant growth in some cases of medulloblastoma, the most common brain cancer in children, and in several cancers in adults, notably basal cell carcinoma.
