Completion Dissection or Observation for Sentinel-Node Metastasis in Melanoma

Mark B. Faries, +58 more
TL;DR: Immediate completion lymph‐node dissection increased the rate of regional disease control and provided prognostic information but did not increase melanoma‐specific survival among patients with melanoma and sentinel‐node metastases.

Systematic Review of Medical Treatment in Melanoma: Current Status and Future Prospects

TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance offer the hope for improved results with chemotherapy, and the triumvirate of more effective chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy are likely to be combined with one another for significant advances in melanoma over the coming few years.

Direct Effects of Type I Interferons on Cells of the Immune System

TL;DR: Type I interferons are well-known inducers of tumor cell apoptosis and antiangiogenesis via signaling through a common receptor interferon alpha receptor (IFNAR), and cross-talk between IFNAR and the pathways turned on by other surface lymphocyte receptors has been described.

Distinct Sets of Genetic Alterations in Melanoma

TL;DR: The genetic alterations identified in melanoma at different sites and with different levels of sun exposure indicate that there are distinct genetic pathways in the development of melanoma and implicate CDK4 and CCND1 as independent oncogenes in melanomas without mutations in BRAF or N-RAS.
