Among patients referred with a diagnosis of invasive thin melanoma, histopathologic review at the melanoma tumor board resulted in major changes in interpretation for 12 (3%) of 370 patients. Of those ...

Researchers are hoping to establish whole-slide imaging (WSI) as a technology that is as accurate and reliable as traditional microscopy in dermatopathology. In WSI, traditionally prepared pathology ...

Open Source Infrastructure for Health Care Data Integration and Machine Learning Analyses Medical records contain a wealth of useful, informative data points valuable for clinical research. Most data ...

A common, non-invasive skin imaging technique can predict which melanoma patients face a higher risk of metastasis as accurately as current methods that require analyzing tumor samples after surgery.

Outcomes for melanoma patients vary within cancer stage. Prognostic biomarkers are potential adjuncts to provide more precise prognostic information. Simple, low-cost biomarker assays, such as those ...

To improve risk stratification of thin melanoma, we investigated the prognostic value of multidimensional primary tumor measurements (eg, cross-sectional area and width) in a large, prospective cohort ...

Not long after Paige cinched FDA clearance for its algorithm to flag potentially cancerous lesions, another digital pathology startup is touting the results of a study claiming its deep learning ...

A large cohort study aimed to find out whether tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, an important biomarker in melanoma, could be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Tumor-infiltrating ...

Indoor tanning is associated with markedly higher mutation burdens and cancer-driving genetic changes in melanocytes taken ...

Real-world data from nearly 400 patients with advanced, unresectable melanoma show that a flipped, lower-dose ipilimumab ...

Using less ipilimumab appears to make melanoma immunotherapy both safer and more effective, with dramatically better response and survival outcomes. The findings suggest that reducing side effects may ...

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can spread rapidly to other areas. However, there are also slow-growing types that may develop over many years. Melanoma is not as common as other types of skin ...
