The integrated 31-gene expression profile test identifies low-risk patients with cutaneous melanoma who can forego the SLNB procedure: results from a prospective, multicenter trial
Melanoma 1 min.
Prospectively confirm use of the integrated 31-gene expression profile test (i31-SLNB) in patients with cutaneous melanoma to predict sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) positivity and assess recurrence rates in those considered low risk by i31-SLNB who did not have an SLNB. Patients with T1–T4 tumors...
Systemic cardiac migration of perfluorocarbon liquid following unsuccessful endoresection of choroidal melanoma: a case report
Melanoma 1 min.
Choroidal melanoma (CM) is the most common intraocular malignant tumor in adults, with a high rate of metastasis and mortality. This study reports a case of systemic cardiac migration of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) following an unsuccessful endoresection of CM. A 61-year-old woman underwent gamma knife...
Machine learning-based prognostic prediction for cutaneous malignant melanoma patient survival
Melanoma 1 min.
Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is a highly malignant tumor that necessitates early diagnosis and precise survival prediction. The development of accurate prognostic models is essential for improving patient survival. This retrospective study analyzed data from 5979 CMM patients in the SEER database...
Artificial intelligence in retinoblastoma and uveal melanoma - a narrative review
Melanoma 1 min.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping diagnostic paradigms across oncology. In ophthalmic oncology encompassing conditions like retinoblastoma and uveal melanoma, AI has immense potential due to the specialty's reliance on advanced imaging and the importance of early and accurate diagnosis. This...
Immunotherapy for patients with melanoma in East Asia: current evidence, future directions, and clinical implications
Melanoma 1 min.
Melanomas cause the vast majority of skin-cancer related deaths, despite accounting for only around 2% of skin cancer cases. Moreover, due to genetic and environmental factors, the melanomas that predominate in East Asian populations, generally acral and mucosal melanomas, are extremely rare in Caucasian...
