TL;DR: The occurrence of vitiligo during nivolumab treatment may be correlated with favorable clinical outcome and prolonged progression‐free and overall survival in advanced melanoma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Updated statistical data for malignant melanoma in Japan.
TL;DR: The prognosis of advanced melanoma is poor, as it is highly resistant to chemotherapy, and early detection is mandatory, and this is possible because this neoplasm appears as a distinctive pigmented lesion on the skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendritic cell-based vaccination in metastatic melanoma patients: Phase II clinical trial
Chie Oshita,Masako Takikawa,Akiko Kume,Haruo Miyata,Tadashi Ashizawa,Akira Iizuka,Yoshio Kiyohara,Shusuke Yoshikawa,Ryuji Tanosaki,Naoya Yamazaki,Akifumi Yamamoto,Kazutoh Takesako,Ken Yamaguchi,Yasuto Akiyama +13 more
TL;DR: Overall survival analysis revealed a significant survival prolongation effect in DC-given melanoma patients, suggesting that peptide cocktail-treated DC vaccines may be a safe and effective therapy against metastatic melanoma in terms of prolongation of overall survival time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malignant eccrine spiradenoma : A case report and review of the literature
TL;DR: A patient with malignant eccrine spiradenoma exhibiting both carcinomatous and sarcomatous differentiation is described, which resulted in the patient's death from systemic metastases 7 months after diagnosis.
Journal Article
Identification of Melanoma Antigens Using a Serological Proteome Approach (SERPA)
Ayako Suzuki,Akira Iizuka,Masaru Komiyama,Masako Takikawa,Akiko Kume,Sachiko Tai,Chie Ohshita,Ayumi Kurusu,Youji Nakamura,Akifumi Yamamoto,Naoya Yamazaki,Shusuke Yoshikawa,Yoshio Kiyohara,Yasuto Akiyama +13 more
TL;DR: The autoantibody-based proteomic approach was effective for investigating melanoma biomarkers and might contribute to the development of a diagnostic device for the early detection of cancer.
