A Natural History of Actinic Keratosis and Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Microbiomes
ABSTRACT Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second-most-common cancer in Australia. The majority of SCCs progress from premalignant actinic keratosis (AK) lesions that form on chronically sun-exposed skin. The role of skin microbiota in this progression is not well understood; therefore,...
