  2. 6. Clinical-epidemiological studies on cutaneous malignant melanoma : A register approach

    Author : Johan Lyth; John Carstensen; Christer Lindholm; Hans Starkhammar; Håkan Olsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanoma; early detection; population-based; registers; time trends; survival; prognostic factors; tumour thickness; stage at diagnosis; level of education; socioeconomic status; healthcare costs;

    Abstract : The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is steadily increasing. Most of the patients have thin CMM with a good prognosis and a 5-year survival of about 90%. The prognosis is highly related to tumour thickness and clinical stage at diagnosis. READ MORE

  4. 7. The Role of Melanocyte Lineage Genes in Melanoma

    Author : Adriana Sanna; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanoma; Genetic; Epigenetic; Heterogeneity; MITF; SOX10; CSD;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma accounts for the highest number of deaths among all skin cancer types, and its incidence has increased dramatically over the past decades. Despite the tremendous therapeutic advances, treatment resistant cells emerge in the vast heterogeneity of melanoma, driving tumor relapse and poor patient outcome. READ MORE

  5. 8. Adoptive T Cell Therapy for Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma

    Author : Arian Sadeghi; Thomas Tötterman; Karl-Johan Malmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Malignant melanoma; Adoptive cell therapy; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma is a common type of solid tumor that causes high cancer-related mortality in young adults of Northern Europe. The incidence of melanoma increases rapidly which renders us a special responsibility to investigate this disease in depth. READ MORE

  6. 9. Immunological effects of isolated regional perfusion in malignant melanoma

    Author : Junko Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanoma; Isolated regional perfusion; ILP; IHP; Melphalan; Immunogenic cell death; T cells; Monocytes; ISG;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma patients with metastatic disease confined to the limbs or liver may be treated with hyperthermic isolated regional perfusion with a chemotherapeutic agent, most commonly melphalan. This procedure enables much higher tissue concentrations of the chemotherapeutic agent compared with systemic administration. READ MORE
