Vitamin D Deficiency at Melanoma Diagnosis Is Associated with Higher Breslow Thickness
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence shows that people with thicker, or higher stage, melanomas have lower vitamin D status compared to those with thinner tumours. Evidence from experimental studies is inconsistent, but some suggest that administration of vitamin D metabolites can decrease tumour aggressiveness. OBJECTIVES Determine the relationship between vitamin D status at diagnosis and me...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression in Association with Clinical-Pathological Factors in Malignant Melanoma
Background and Objective: The primary goal of this study is to develop a rigorous understanding ofthe correlation between COX-2 expression and malignant melanoma prognostic factors.

متن کاملSunny Holidays before and after Melanoma Diagnosis Are Respectively Associated with Lower Breslow Thickness and Lower Relapse Rates in Italy
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported an association between sun exposure and improved cutaneous melanoma (CM) survival. We analysed the association of UV exposure with prognostic factors and outcome in a large melanoma cohort. METHODS A questionnaire was given to 289 (42%) CM patients at diagnosis (Group 1) and to 402 CM patients (58%) during follow-up (Group 2). Analyses were carried ou...

15 صفحه اولDoes use of estrogens decrease the Breslow thickness of melanoma of the skin? Oral contraceptives and hormonal replacement therapy.
Recently, we showed there was a cumulative dose-dependent association between the use of estrogens and the incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM). This association was shown for both oral contraceptives (OC) and hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). Some in-vitro studies, however, have suggested a direct inhibitory effect on melanoma tumor growth. Therefore, the use of different types of estrogens,...
