Journal ArticleDOI
Cutaneous manifestations of breast carcinoma.
Vincenzo De Giorgi,Marta Grazzini,Barbara Alfaioli,Imma Savarese,Suzana Alexandra Corciova,Giuseppe Guerriero,Torello Lotti +6 more
TL;DR: The most common sites of breast carcinoma cutaneous manifestation are the chest wall and abdomen, but they can occur at the extremities and in the head/neck region.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prognostic impact of the anatomical sites in the 'head and neck melanoma': scalp versus face and neck.
Vincenzo De Giorgi,Susanna Rossari,Alessia Gori,Marta Grazzini,Imma Savarese,Emanuele Crocetti,Elisa Cervadoro,Daniela Massi +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to analyse the poor prognosis of head and neck melanoma (HNM) with respect to the other anatomical sites, considering the face and neck (F&N) and the scalp separately, and observed a significantly lower 5-year overall survival probability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple primary melanomas (MPMs) and criteria for genetic assessment: MultiMEL, a multicenter study of the Italian Melanoma Intergroup.

Ghigliotti,Marisa Muggianu,Francesco Spagnolo,Virginia Picasso,Enrica Teresa Tanda,Paola Queirolo,Giovanna Bianchi-Scarrà +35 more
TL;DR: Italian patients who developed 2 melanomas, even in situ, should be referred for genetic counseling even in the absence of family history, according to a rule regarding the presence of either 2 or 3 or more cancer events in low or high melanoma incidence populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is skin self-examination for cutaneous melanoma detection still adequate? A retrospective study.
Vincenzo De Giorgi,Marta Grazzini,Susanna Rossari,Alessia Gori,Federica Papi,Federica Scarfì,Imma Savarese,Sara Gandini +7 more
TL;DR: The data that emerged from this study is that self-detection was associated with a greater probability of having a thick melanoma and, therefore, a poor prognosis (odds ratio 1.56).
Journal ArticleDOI
Features of small melanocytic lesions: does small mean benign? A clinical-dermoscopic study.
Vincenzo De Giorgi,Imma Savarese,Susanna Rossari,Alessia Gori,Marta Grazzini,Emanuele Crocetti,Anna Sara Longo,Teresa Oranges,Daniela Massi +8 more
TL;DR: It is proved that the clinical criteria for diagnosing melanoma are not as reliable in the diagnosis of pigmented lesions of less than 6 mm diameter, and the use of dermoscopy allows a better classification of small, melanocytic lesions through pattern analysis.
