2. 1. 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. 2. Biomarker Discovery in Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma : A Study Based on Tissue Microarrays and Immunohistochemistry

   Author : Margrét Agnarsdóttir; Fredrik Ponten; Peter Naredi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antibody-based proteomics; automated analysis; biomarker; immunohistochemistry; malignant melanoma; survival; tissue microarray; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi; Pathology; Patologi; Molecular medicine; Molekylär medicin; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap; Pathology; Patologi;

   Abstract : The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma has increased dramatically in Caucasians the last few decades, an increase that is partly explained by altered sun exposure habits. For the individual patient, with a localized disease, the tumor thickness of the excised lesion is the most important prognostic factor. READ MORE

5. 3. Exploring the Molecular Landscape of Cutaneous Melanoma

   Author : Shamik Mitra; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanoma; Immune System; Tumor Microenvironment; Epigenetics; MITF; SOX10;

   Abstract : Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is one of the most aggressive skin malignancies with poor prognosisfor the patients with metastatic disease. Earlier studies have highlighted the existing molecular diversityamongst CMM tumors. READ MORE

6. 4. Cutaneous malignant melanoma : aspects on prevention

   Author : Mia Bergenmar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Melanoma; Early detection; Prevention; Information; Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome; Knowledge; UV-exposure;

   Abstract : The general aims of the present thesis were to delineate factors of importance for prevention of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). Three samples of patients with CMM, one sample of patients with dysplastic nevus syndrome (DNS) and a sample from the general population were studied. READ MORE

7. 5. Quantitative analysis of melanoma transcripts : with emphasis on methodological and biological variation

   Author : Malin Farnebäck; Håkan Hedman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The introduction of RT-PCR made it possible to detect circulating tumor cells in melanoma patients by analysis of melanoma-associated transcripts, especially tyrosinase. Since the development of the first PCR method for tyrosinase mRNA, several studies have presented varying results. READ MORE
