Retrospective review of cutaneous metastasis among 11,418 patients with solid malignancy: A tertiary cancer center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Cutaneous metastasis (CM) occurs infrequently and usually presents during the later stages of cancer, and has a poor prognosis. Although there are insufficient current data, cancer treatment changes could have a positive impact on the outcome. This retrospective study aimed to review the pattern and prognosis of CM in patients with solid malignancy in a tertiary cancer center in Thailand.We reviewed the medical records of cancer patients diagnosed with CM between October 2009 and August 2015 at Chulabhorn Hospital, a tertiary cancer center in Thailand. Patients with primary skin cancer and hematological malignancies were excluded. We collected and analyzed data, including the time of cancer diagnosis and CM, type of cancer, clinical characteristics, and survival outcome.Of
