Prognostic value of tumour thickness in cutaneous malignant melanoma.
The relation between survival and histological features in 91 patients with malignant melanoma was studied and the results were analysed by Clayton's method for interpretation of censored survival data. There was a significant correlation between tumour thickness and survival. The risk of dying from malignant melanoma after 10 years of follow up was less than 15% if the primary tumour was less ...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of LKB1 promoter methylation in cutaneous malignant melanoma
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) loss is a common occurrence in various types of human cancer, and promoter methylation has been hypothesized to be a major mechanism of LKB1 inactivation. The association between LKB1 gene promoter methylation status and tumor progression in cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) remains unknown. In the present study, the methylation status of the LKB1 promoter region was exa...
متن کاملPrognostic impact of p62 expression in cutaneous malignant melanoma
Accumulating evidence suggests autophagy, the principle catabolic process for lysosomal degradation of surplus macromolecules (Roy and Debnath 2010) is fundamental to tumourigenesis. Impaired autophagy results in accumulation of cellular breakdown products, increased oxidative stress and neoplastic transformation (Mathew et al. 2009); whilst efficient autophagy facilitates metastatic tumour sur...
متن کاملCutaneous malignant melanoma.
Skin cancer has become the most common neoplasm in the United States. With early diagnosis and appropriate management, most skin cancers have an overall 5-year survival rate of 95%. Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), however, has a significantly higher morbidity and mortality, resulting in 65% of all skin cancer deaths. Although the long-term survival rate for patients with metastatic melanoma...
متن کاملCutaneous Horn Malignant Melanoma
A 73-year-old Japanese woman presented with cutaneous horn on the right cheek. The resected tumor was 9 mm in diameter, with 14 mm protrusion, and showed exophytic growth with marked papillomatosis. Histopathology showed proliferation of atypical melanocytes with melanin pigments in the epidermis and dermis under the cutaneous horn. These cells were confined to the base of the cutaneous horn, a...
