Melanoma and Other Cutaneous Malignancies
2001Cancers of the skin constituted nearly one-half of all cancers diagnosed in 1999, at least 1,000,000 new cases in the United States alone. In fact, the skin is by far the most common primary site for human cancer development. Although skin cancer is often thought of as causing relatively little morbidity and mortality, nearly 10,000 deaths were ...

Primary cutaneous malignant melanoma
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1983The prognosis of localized malignant melanoma is related to several histologic features of the primary lesion.

Angiogenesis in cutaneous malignant melanoma
1997The capacity of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) to induce angiogenesis is well established. Tumor vascularity was compared for radial versus vertical growth phase melanomas. The radial growth phase is defined as melanoma that is predominantly intraepidermal, but usually exhibits microinvasion in papillary dermis.
