Interobserver variability of histopathological prognostic parameters in cutaneous malignant melanoma: impact on patient management.
Clinical management of primary cutaneous melanomas is based on histopathological staging of the tumour. The aim of this study was to investigate, in a non-selected population in clinical practice, the agreement rate between general pathologists and pathologists experienced in melanoma in terms of the evaluation of histopathological prognostic parameters in cutaneous malignant melanomas, and to ...
متن کاملPrognostic impact of p62 expression in cutaneous malignant melanoma
Accumulating evidence suggests autophagy, the principle catabolic process for lysosomal degradation of surplus macromolecules (Roy and Debnath 2010) is fundamental to tumourigenesis. Impaired autophagy results in accumulation of cellular breakdown products, increased oxidative stress and neoplastic transformation (Mathew et al. 2009); whilst efficient autophagy facilitates metastatic tumour sur...

متن کاملPrognostic value of tumour thickness in cutaneous malignant melanoma.
The relation between survival and histological features in 91 patients with malignant melanoma was studied and the results were analysed by Clayton's method for interpretation of censored survival data. There was a significant correlation between tumour thickness and survival. The risk of dying from malignant melanoma after 10 years of follow up was less than 15% if the primary tumour was less ...
