p63 is an alternative p53 repressor in melanoma that confers chemoresistance and a poor prognosis. [PDF]
The role of apoptosis in melanoma pathogenesis and chemoresistance is poorly characterized. Mutations in TP53 occur infrequently, yet the TP53 apoptotic pathway is often abrogated.

ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment landscape for malignant melanoma (MM). However, given variable response rates and potential toxicities, identifying robust biomarkers is crucial. We investigated whether the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) predicts treatment efficacy and toxicity in Asian patients with

Tumour progression shows decrease in PD‐L1 expression in matched metastases/primary uveal melanomas
Abstract Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionised the treatment of several malignancies. However, the results of ICI therapy remain unsatisfactory in metastatic uveal melanoma (UM). We analysed the expression of PD1, PD‐L1, T‐cell and macrophage markers in a set of matched primary and metastatic UM in an attempt to better ...

Uveal melanoma arises from stromal melanocytes and is the most prevalent primary intraocular tumor in adults. It poses a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its high malignancy and early onset of metastases. In recent years, there has

Metastatic potential of small posterior uveal melanomas
Abstract Purpose To investigate the prevalence of aggressive traits in small posterior uveal melanomas (UM). Methods This retrospective, multicentre cohort study included 804 patients with small posterior UM (≤9 mm in largest basal diameter, ≤3 mm in thickness) from centres in the UK, Germany, and Sweden.

Hypermutated tumors respond more favorably to checkpoint inhibitor-based immune therapy. Here, the authors describe a new hypermutated phenotype due to germline mutations and subsequent somatic loss of heterozygosity of MBD4, and a dramatic response to ...

Expression and prognostic value of putative cancer stem cell markers CD117 and CD15 in choroidal and ciliary body melanoma [PDF]
AIMS: The aim of the present study was to immunohistochemically investigate the expression and prognostic significance of putative cancer stem cell markers CD117 (c-kit), CD34, CD20 and CD15 in a cohort of patients with primary choroidal and ciliary ...

Malignant craniopharyngiomas: Institutional experience and literature review
We report the second case of malignant craniopharyngioma with BAP1 and TP53 mutations. A literature review identified 44 cases of malignant craniopharyngiomas with a median overall survival of 6 months. Eighteen (41%) occurred in patients without any history of radiation, suggesting that mechanisms other than radiation have contributed to their ...
