Cutaneous lymphoscintigraphy in malignant melanoma

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1983
Melanoma commonly metastasizes to the regional lymph nodes. With early melanomas the accepted therapy is local wide excision and regional lymphadenectomy for nodes in the lymph drainage path. For some melanoma sites the lymph node groups that should be removed are obvious; however, for other sites the decision as to which nodes are at risk may present ...

Cutaneous malignant melanoma in Europe

European Journal of Cancer, 2004
Cutaneous malignant melanoma is on the rise in fair skinned societies. Both its incidence and mortality rates have been increasing in Europe over the past decades, the latter seem to stabilise in Scandinavia. The main cause of melanoma is intermittent exposure to ultraviolet radiation, especially in combination with endogenous factors like skin type ...

Autophagy in cutaneous malignant melanoma

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 2009
We show that malignant melanoma cells display high levels of autophagy, a cytoplasmic process of protein and organelle digestion that provides an energy source in times of nutrient deprivation. In a panel of 12 cases of cutaneous malignant melanoma of the superficial spreading type, cells in florid melanoma in situ (MIS) and invasive cells in the ...
