Predictors of occult nodal metastasis in patients with thin melanoma.
HYPOTHESIS Thin primary lesions are largely responsible for the rapid increase in melanoma incidence, making identification of appropriate candidates for nodal staging in this group critically important. We hypothesized that common clinical variables may accurately estimate the risk of nodal metastasis after wide excision and determine the need for sentinel node biopsy. DESIGN Review of prosp...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Regional Nodal Metastasis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Correlation with Nodal Staging
Objective To determine if the perfusion parameters by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) of regional nodal metastasis are helpful in characterizing nodal status and to understand the relationship with those of primary tumor of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Materials and Methods Newly diagnosed patients imaged between August 2010 and January 2014 and who were foun...
متن کاملMelanoma Metastasis
Cancer metastasis requires a series of sequential steps, each of which is rate limiting. Neoplasms are biologically heterogeneous, and the process of metastasis is highly selective. Multiple metastases often differ in biologic characteristics and can change during the course of the disease. Clonal analysis of human melanoma suggest that systemic, physiologic signals can be recognized by neoplas...
متن کاملBilateral cervical nodal metastasis from unknown primary melanoma: a therapeutic dilemma
Metastatic melanoma with unknown primary [MUP] is a rare presentation. MUP with palpable lymphadenopathy without an identifiable primary or distant metastasis are a subgroup of this rare entity. MUP with nodal involvement most commonly involves axillary lymph nodes followed by inguinal and cervical lymph nodes. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays an important role in establishing the diagnosis in ...
متن کاملIdentification of key genes in melanoma metastasis and investigating their potential as biomarkers
Background and Aim: Considering the high global incidence of skin cancer and the high mortality rate caused by melanoma, it is important to identify the genes involved in this disease and predict effective drugs. Therefore, in this study, we have identified and investigated the expression level of effective and key genes in melanoma metastasis, as well as investigating their diagnostic potentia...
