This week we sit down with Sotirios-Charalampos (Sotiris) Diamantoudis, Maria Vasileiou, and Elpida Lytra to discuss the new NCODA Greece PSO Chapter, Oncology in Greece, and the Cancer Prevention Research Group Greece.Sotirios-Charalampos (Sotiris) Diamantoudis is a 2nd-year Pharmacy student at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. His passion for oncology has led him to take the position of Co-Head of Chemoprevention, Nutritional Supplements, and Cancer at the Cancer Prevention Research Group in Greece. When he first encountered NCODA in Athens during the 18th European Pharmaceutical Students' Association Autumn Assembly, where he volunteered, he considered the initiative of most interest and immediately joined in. Taking it a step further, Sotiris notified his network to spread NCODA and its values in Greece. Maria Vasileiou is a 4th-year pharmacy student at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Her area of interest is cancer research, which includes primary and secondary prevention, chemoprevention, and the association of dietary supplements and medicines with cancer incidence and progression. She has hands-on experience in cancer research, having attended a postgraduate program on immunotherapy in advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma. She serves as Co-Founder and President-Elect of NCODA Greece.Elpida Lytra is a 5th-year Pharmacy student at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. She serves as Director of Finances at NCODA Greece.You can follow NCODA Greece on Instagram @ncodagreece or on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ncodagreece/.

Rosacea diagnosis relies on clinical judgment. Dr. Vincent DeLeo talks to Dr. William James about rosacea classification and its controversies. Dr. James describes the evolution of rosacea classification systems and the need to define the clinical features of rosacea to improve patient care. “There is no gold-standard laboratory diagnosis for [rosacea],” Dr. James explains. “It’s really a diagnosis that’s made on clinical criteria, so those criteria I think should be well defined.” We also bring you the latest dermatology news and research. 1. Beyond sunscreen: Skin cancer preventive agents finding a role A growing list of skin cancer chemopreventive agents is expanding options for risk management. 2. Psoriasis patients on biologics show improved heart health Novel imaging biomarker identifies reduced coronary inflammation in psoriasis patients on biologics. 3. Dupilumab found effective for adolescents with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis The rates of skin infections also were higher in the placebo group, compared with the treatment groups. Things you will learn in this episode: There are three published rosacea classification systems based on clinical presentation, including the original classification schema introduced by the National Rosacea Society in 2002 and updated in 2018 as well as a similar classification system published by the global ROSacea COnsensus panel in 2017. The initial classification system included a list of primary and secondary features that were considered diagnostic of rosacea, but no standardized group of characteristics has been shown to be applicable in all cases of rosacea. The newer classification systems focus more on identifying phenotypic changes in rosacea patients rather than classifying subtypes of disease, as not every rosacea patient presents with a classic constellation of symptoms. Targeting individual symptoms of rosacea allows for more specific treatments based on a patient’s unique clinical presentation rather than designing therapies for broad subtypes. Despite advancements made in the newer classification systems, some of the definitions of primary features of classification still require more refinement; for instance, the classifications address flushing in rosacea as a very quick reaction, occurring within seconds to minutes of a trigger, but they do not address the prolonged nature of the redness, which is not as transient as in people who are simply embarrassed or overheated from exercise. Although it was included in the initial classification schema, granulomatous rosacea was eliminated in the newer classifications, likely because it does not share commonalities with traditional rosacea presentations. When diagnosing rosacea, it is important to consider other disease states that can lead to a red face and are in fact associated with diagnostic laboratory values or histopathologic appearances, such as systemic lupus, dermatomyositis, mastocytosis, carcinoid syndrome, polycythemia vera, and diabetes, as these conditions are more serious from a systemic standpoint. New treatment algorithms for rosacea focus on treating specific phenotypes rather than groups of symptoms, leading to more targeted therapies that can be used to treat individual patient presentations.

JAMA Dermatology Author Interviews: Covering research on the skin, its diseases, and their treatment
Interview with Martin A. Weinstock, author of Chemoprevention of Basal and Squamous Cell Carcinoma With a Single Course of Fluorouracil, 5%, Cream: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Dr Ford talks to ecancertv at the 2015 World Oncology Forum about the work being done in chemoprevention and vaccination in breast and prostate cancer. Her work focuses on chemical interventions rather than lifestyle. In particular, she mentions 'Prostvac', an anti-prostate cancer vaccine which is currently being trialled.
Prof Coleman speaks with ecancertv at the 2016 BACR and ECMC Joint Meeting about bone-targeted agents that have links to reducing breast cancer incidence. He describes results from trials of bisphosphonate and denosumab, a well tolerated antibody which inhibits RANK ligand pathways. Prof Coleman also relates the ongoing IBIS III study of bisphosphonates to reduce recurrence and relapse of breast cancer, and considers the future of chemoprevention in health care.
Dr Din speaks with ecancertv at the 2016 BACR and ECMC Joint Meeting about her research into the metabolic processes of aspirin in cancer cells Using organoid models, she reports on the mechanisms by which aspirin inhibits mTOR signalling and protein regulation. Dr Din describes the additional impacts of diet, exercise and genetic susceptibility on tumour metabolism, and the population-level outcomes that wider adoption of chemoprevention could contribute towards.
Prof Patrono speaks with ecancertv at the 2016 BACR and ECMC Joint Meeting about the action of COX1 in preventing colorectal cancer. Platelet activation, stimulated by COX1, results in angiogenesis which supports tumoural development. Prof Patrono also describes how platelets may form a physical barrier around tumours, and how aspirin can directly obstruct a serine residue essential for platelet function.
Dr Censi speaks with ecancertv at the 2016 BACR and ECMC Joint Meeting about the hurdles facing adoption of chemopreventative strategies. He highlights the lack of monetary and emotional investment in prevention compared to diagnosis and treatment of cancers, and the uncertainty surrounding clinical data due to the lengthy timeline of studies. Dr Cesni also considers the regulatory issues of off-brand prescription and repurposing of drugs, compared to the widespread public acceptance of food supplements, and the incorporation of preventative behaviours into screening and counselling.

Despite clear results of observational studies linking a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to a decreased cancer risk, large interventional trials evaluating the impact of dietary micronutrient supplementation, mostly vitamins, could not show any beneficial effects. Today it has become clear that a single micronutrient, given in supernutritional doses, cannot match cancer preventive effects of whole fruits and vegetables. In this regard polyphenols came into focus, not only because of their antioxidant potential but also because of their ability to interact with molecular targets within the cells. Because polyphenols occur in many foods and beverages in high concentration and evidence for their anticancer activity is best for tissues they can come into direct contact with, field cancerization predestines upper aerodigestive tract epithelium for cancer chemoprevention by polyphenols. In this paper, we summarize cancer chemopreventive attempts with emphasis on head and neck carcinogenesis and discuss some methodological issues. We present data regarding antimutagenic effects of curcumin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate in human oropharyngeal mucosa cultures exposed to cigarette smoke condensate.
