Metastasectomy in cutaneous melanoma

European Journal of Surgical Oncology (EJSO), 2017
Metastasectomy remains the only treatment in malignant melanoma to offer complete pathologic response within a few days of in-hospital stay. It has been historically associated with the highest survival rates in the literature reported for patients of this stage.

Cutaneous Melanomas of the Eyelid

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2006
Cutaneous eyelid melanomas are very rare lesions. The lentiginous subtypes are the most frequent melanocytic lesions of the eyelid and can be likened to conjunctival melanocytic lesions like PAM, PAM with atypia and conjunctival melanoma. Compared to melanomas elsewhere on the body, eyelid melanomas have special considerations. Eyelid skin is very thin,

Prevention of Cutaneous Melanoma

2019
The disease burden associated with melanoma continues to be a significant public health problem. The main modifiable risk factor for cutaneous melanoma is exposure to ultraviolet radiation, whether from the sun or artificial sources such as tanning sunbeds.

Imaging in cutaneous melanoma

Nuclear Medicine Communications, 2008
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is a common malignancy and imaging, particularly lymphoscintigraphy (LS), positron-emission tomography with 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET), ultrasound, radiography computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging have important roles in staging and restaging, surgical guidance, surveillance and assessment of recurrent ...

Cutaneous Desmoplastic Melanoma

Advances in Anatomic Pathology, 2005
Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a fibrosing variant of spindle cell melanoma. It most often presents as an indurated lesion in chronically sun-damaged skin. Due to the lack of characteristic clinical features, early detection is uncommon. At the time of excision, the tumors usually extend into the reticular dermis or deeper.

Familial cutaneous melanoma

Melanoma Research, 1995
Family history is an important risk factor for cutaneous malignant melanoma. We evaluated the clinical characteristics of patients with cutaneous familial melanoma. A chart review was conducted, including all patients who presented to Massachusetts General Hospital Pigmented Lesion Clinic over an 8-year period.

Epidemiology of Cutaneous Melanoma

Dermatologic Clinics, 1985
Although intermittent intense solar exposure and genetic traits such as fair skin continue to be associated with the risk of developing cutaneous melanoma, these factors fail to account for much of the incidence. Suggestive evidence has increased speculation that viral agents, radiation, hormones, chemicals in the workplace, and dietary factors play ...

Microstaging in cutaneous melanoma

The Journal of Pathology, 2001
AbstractRecent papers have addressed critical issues regarding the microstaging of cutaneous melanoma. They concern the new staging proposal by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), the presentation of new prognostic models than seem applicable in daily practice, and new immunohistochemical findings than demonstrate prognostic information ...

The Classification of Cutaneous Melanoma

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2009
Forty years ago, a clinical and histological classification scheme and prognostic factors were described for cutaneous melanoma. This scheme included the subtypes superficial spreading, nodular and lentigo maligna, and prognostic factors including tumor thickness, ulceration, and mitotic activity.

Advances in cutaneous melanoma

Clinical and Translational Oncology, 2012
After several decades of slow progress in the field of melanoma, significant advances have been reported in recent years. These include a better understanding of the molecular biology of the tumour, a new staging classification system, insights into the patterns of relapse in early stage, and new drugs for the treatment of advanced disease.
