The price of tumor control: an analysis of rare side effects of anti-CTLA-4 therapy in metastatic melanoma from the ipilimumab network [PDF]
Background: Ipilimumab, a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) blocking antibody, has been approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and induces adverse events (AE) in up to 64% of patients.

Effects of HMGA2 on migration and proliferation of leptomeningeal metastatic melanoma [PDF]
Background and purpose: Leptomeningeal metastasis is a form of central nervous system metastasis of melanoma. High mobility group A2 (HMGA2) has been proven to play an important role in the occurrence and development of various tumors, but its biological

Lymphatic endothelium stimulates melanoma metastasis and invasion via MMP14-dependent Notch3 and b1-integrin activation [PDF]
Lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis correlate with poor clinical outcome in melanoma. However, the mechanisms of lymphatic dissemination in distant metastasis remain incompletely understood.

Evaluation of melanin-targeted radiotherapy in combination with radiosensitizing drugs for the treatment of melanoma [PDF]
The incidence of malignant melanoma is rising faster than that of any other cancer in the United States. An [131I]-labeled benzamide - [131I]MIP-1145 - selectively targets melanin, reduces melanoma tumor burden and increases survival in preclinical ...
