    Sammanfattning : Background: Unlike other cancers, malignant melanoma (MM) is generally visible and can be easily and effectively cured if treated in time. Optimal cure of MM requires early detection, diagnosis, and treatment, which improves prognosis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Identification and clinical evaluation of senescence-associated markers to distinguish melanocytic nevi from melanomas

    Författare :Kyriakos Orfanidis; Ingrid Synnerstad; Jakob Wikström; John Paoli; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; senescence; nevi; melanoma; melanocytes; fibroblasts; ultraviolet UV radiation;

    Sammanfattning : Melanoma is a form of cancer that develops in melanocytes. While it represents only 5% of skin malignancies, it is the most aggressive and lethal. Benign proliferation of these cells form the melanocytic nevi. The definitive diagnosis of melanocytic nevi or melanoma lesions is histopathologic. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : “Cutaneous melanoma is a most unpredictable lesion” wrote Alexander Breslow in 1970. He was one of the first to predict outcome in melanoma patients, based on the thickness of the primary tumor, and today this parameter bears his name and remains the main prognostic factor in melanoma.

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skin cancer diagnosis; skin cancer; skin surgery; dermoscopy; basal cell carcinoma; squamous cell carcinoma; melanoma; dysplastic naevus; naevus; algorithms;

    Sammanfattning : Skin cancer incidence is increasing in fair-skinned populations. The three most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM). A correct diagnosis is crucial for an efficient and tailored treatment for the skin cancer patient. LÄS MER
