The Asp84GIu variant of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R)is associated with melanoma
Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) plays an important role in determining the cutaneous response to ultraviolet radiation and may also influence melanoma progression.

Association of MC1R Variants and host phenotypes with melanoma risk in CDKN2A mutation carriers: a GenoMEL study [PDF]
<p><b>Background</b> Carrying the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) germline mutations is associated with a high risk for melanoma. Penetrance of CDKN2A mutations is modified by pigmentation characteristics, nevus phenotypes,

ARHGEF3 is broadly downregulated across human cancers and correlates with patient prognosis. Tumor‐intrinsic ARHGEF3 activates the RHOA–ROCK–PTEN cascade to inhibit AKT signaling, thereby promoting chemokine‐driven T‐cell infiltration and relieving lipid‐mediated myeloid immunosuppression.

Diagnostic challenge for ovarian malignant melanoma in premenopausal women: Primary or metastatic?
Background In the ovary, metastatic malignant melanoma may be confused with primary malignant melanoma and presents a diagnosis challenge. Most cases are associated with disseminated diseases and poor prognosis.

A study of activation antigens involved in the pathologicalmechanisms and pathways of cutaneous malignant disease withparticular emphasis on cutaneous T cell lymphoma andmalignant melanoma [PDF]
The investigation of dermatological conditions embraces the concept of a clinicopathological correlation. The studies into cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and malignant melanoma (MM), presented here involved predominantly immunocytochemical procedures ...

CCL3 and IL‐7 Synergistically Enhance CAR‐T Efficacy in Solid Tumors
Synergistic delivery of CCL3 and IL‐7 by CAR‐T cells overcomes the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by enhancing cell infiltration, survival, and local immune reprogramming. This also establishes positive feedback that amplifies anti‐tumor activity and memory responses in both CAR‐T and endogenous T cells, presenting a robust therapeutic ...

Stromal Regulation of Tumor Perineural Invasion: A Multicellular and Neuro‐Ecological Perspective
This review reframes perineural invasion (PNI) as a dynamic, multicellular process within the tumor–nerve–stromal ecosystem. The authors delineate how cancer‐associated fibroblasts, Schwann cells, and immune cells remodel the neural niche to facilitate tumor spread.
