A potential new imaging agent for early diagnosis of most serious skin cancer
Scientists in Australia are reporting development and testing in laboratory animals of a potential new material for diagnosing malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. view more (2009-10-01)
Tanning Devices - Fast Track to Skin Cancer?
An all over tan is fashionable and large numbers of people, especially young women, achieve this by using sunbeds. Professor Antony Young, of King's College London, has reviewed the evidence that links sunbed use to malignant melanoma; a skin cancer that is fatal if not detected and treated early. Malignant melanoma is a cancer of the skin's cells... view more... (2004-01-15)
Dangerous skin cancer
The German Cancer Society has worked out new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma-a disease with unfavorable prognosis. view more (2008-12-19)
Newfound roadblock to interferon effectiveness against malignant melanoma
Researchers have uncovered a significant contributing factor to interferon resistance of malignant melanoma cells. view more (2005-09-22)
Benign or cancerous?
Research into a cancer that is on the rise in the UK is to be presented at the University of Leicester. view more (2008-11-12)
New gene discovery that stops skin cancer in its tracks
Tumour Suppressor Genes (TSGs) are important in controlling the growth of cells. Cancer is caused when cells multiply uncontrollably, so the TSGs play a vital role in stopping healthy cells from becoming cancerous. Experts already know that one particular TSG called P16 is able to stop the growth of cells in the most aggressive form of skin cancer... view more... (1999-02-22)
Radiation therapy can help spare vision in patients with melanoma of the eye
Treating a rare form of eye cancer with radiation therapy can spare patients from significant vision loss. view more (2005-10-19)
Skin cancer breakthrough - Gene explains why men are at higher risk of malignant melanoma
Researchers from Germany have identified a gene that is associated with an increased risk of suffering from skin cancer. The research, published this month in Journal of Carcinogenesis, could also explain why men are more likely to suffer from malignant melanoma than women. Although most people associate melanoma with exposure to UV light, through... view more... (2003-11-26)
Melanomas may appear noticeably different than other moles
A preliminary study suggests that melanomas have a different appearance than other irregular skin moles (i.e., are "ugly ducklings"), according to a report in the January issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-01-22)
Does too much sun cause melanoma?
We are continuously bombarded with messages about the dangers of too much sun and the increased risk of melanoma (the less common and deadliest form of skin cancer), but are these dangers real, or is staying out of the sun causing us more harm than good? view more (2008-07-23)
Researchers use embryonic model to reprogram malignant melanoma
Scientists at Northwestern University and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have reprogrammed malignant melanoma cells to become normal melanocytes, or pigment cells, a development that may hold promise in treating of one of the deadliest forms of cancer. view more (2006-02-28)
Ultraviolet B light exposure associated with increased risk of skin cancer
A decreased ability to repair chromosomal damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation in test tubes may be associated with an increased risk of the common skin cancers basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but not of melanoma. view more (2005-12-21)
Model identifies genes that induce normal skin cells to become abnormal
Northwestern University researchers have developed a novel, three-dimensional model that allows scientists to observe how interacting with the microenvironment of metastatic melanoma cells induces normal skin cells to become similar to aggressive cancer cells that migrate and spread throughout the body. view more (2005-11-15)
Research team develops cancer-curing T-lymphocyte-based therapy to eradicate malignant tumours
Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) of the Université de Montréal, has succeeded in developing a new approach to eradicate malignant melanoma tumours in mice. view more (2005-10-19)
EARLY PROMISE FOR NEW TREATMENT OF SKIN CANCER (p 525)
A preliminary study published as a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that the herpes virus could contribute to the treatment of malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. Previous laboratory research has shown that a mutant herpes simplex virus (HSV1716) has improved the survival times of animals with... view more... (2001-02-14)
Malignant melanoma cells secrete protein required for embryo formation
A Northwestern University research group has discovered that aggressive melanoma cells secrete Nodal, a protein that is critical to proper embryo formation. view more (2006-07-31)
Uveal melanoma patients at higher risk for colon cancer
Higher Colon Cancer Risk in Uveal Melanoma Patients and Their Relatives Compared to General Population, will be presented by Frederick H. Davidorf, MD, during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2007 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. view more (2007-05-09)
Marathon runners may be at increased risk for skin cancer
In an Austrian study, marathon runners had more atypical moles and other skin lesions suggestive of a risk for skin cancer than did a comparison group of age- and sex-matched controls. view more (2006-11-21)
Family history of melanoma linked to Parkinson's disease
People with a family history of melanoma may have a greater risk of developing Parkinson's disease, according to a study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 61st Annual Meeting in Seattle, April 25 to May 2, 2009. view more (2009-02-17)
HSP90: New point of view on melanoma of the eye, at the MUHC
Ocular melanoma is rarely detected before it has grown large enough to impair vision or to metastasize. This makes it a particularly challenging disease to fight, especially since chemotherapy is not very effective. view more (2008-02-20)
