Recent evidence suggests that the disruption of gene expression by alterations in DNA, RNA, and histone methylation may be critical contributors to the pathogenesis of keratinocyte cancers (KCs), made up of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), which collectively outnumber all other human cancers combined. While it is clear that methylation modifiers are frequently dysregulated in KCs, the underlying molecular and mechanistic changes are only beginning to be understood. Intriguingly, it has recently emerged that there is extensive cross-talk amongst these distinct methylation processes. Here, we summarize and synthesize the latest findings in this space and highlight how these discoveries may uncover novel therapeutic approaches for these ubiquitous cancers.

Background: The development of knowledge concerning the role of sun exposure in causing skin cancer has been a gradual one. Objective: This article reviews the article by Urbach who used manikin coated with an ultraviolet dosimeter to see exactly where on the head and neck the exposure was greatest. Conclusion: Urbach showed that the areas of greatest sun exposure on his manikins corresponded with the location of 95% of squamous cell carcinoma and 66% of basal cell carcinoma. He also clearly showed the importance of scattered sky and reflected radiation.
