Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in melanocytic skin lesions by immunohistochemistry
Introduction: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in pathogenesis of various tumors and possibly malignant skin tumors including malignant melanoma; however, there is not enough information about COX-2 expression in benign melanocytic lesions. In the present study we compared the expression levels of COX-2 in malignant melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions. Method: In this analytical study, ...

متن کاملMelanocytic lesions excised from the skin: what percentage are malignant?
We estimated the diagnostic skill of clinicians managing melanocytic skin naevi by measuring the percentage of malignant melanomas, premalignant and potentially malignant naevi, in 1896 excised melanocytic lesions submitted to a pathology service over 11 weeks. They comprised 8 per cent. The percentage increased with age: 4 per cent in the under-40s, 17 per cent in those aged 40-59, and 30 per ...
متن کاملMyeloid leukemia-1 expression in benign and malignant melanocytic lesions.
Myeloid leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) is an anti-apoptotic protein implicated in tumor progression. Its expression was found to be elevated in many types of human cancers and is correlated with tumor progression. The expression of Mcl-1 in melanoma is not fully understood. We investigated the expression of Mcl-1 in normal nevi, dysplastic nevi, primary melanoma and melanoma metastases by tissue microarray...
متن کاملA comparative study of estrogen receptor beta expression in melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions
Background: Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. In contrast to other tumors, the role of estrogen in the initiation and progression of melanoma remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate estrogen receptor beta protein expression in human melanoma tissues and in the benign melanocytic lesions. Method: Twenty-one patients, 11 with cutaneous melanoma and 10 w...
