A new measure for the malignancy of melanoma
Every tumor, starting from a size of a few millimeters, depends on a supply of nutrients and oxygen. Therefore, using special growth factors, it induces vascular wall cells of neighboring blood vessels to sprout new capillaries in order to get connected to the blood circulation. view more (2009-03-12)
Virginia Tech researcher examining malignant melanoma in horses
Malignant melanoma is a dangerous, aggressive form of cancer and approximately 54,000 new cases are diagnosed every year, according to the American Cancer Society. view more (2006-02-01)
Australian researchers identify genes that cause melanoma
Scientists from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) have found two new genes that together double a person's risk of developing melanoma. view more (2009-07-07)
Study finds even healthcare professionals are sun-worshipers - despite knowing all about the risks of skin cancer
Prevention and education programmes have increased knowledge about the dangers of too much sun, but even healthcare professionals with high levels of awareness of the risk of skin cancer don't seem to be changing their behaviour, according to research presented at ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference today (Monday 22 September). view more (2003-09-20)
Fatty diet does not increase risk of skin cancer
Eating fatty food does not appear to increase the risk of skin cancer. A study published today in the open access journal BMC Cancer contradicts previous research that showed a link between high fat intake and certain types of skin cancer. view more (2006-05-30)
Key mechanism found that promotes spread of malignant melanoma
Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered a key signaling mechanism that may promote the ability of highly aggressive malignant melanoma cells to metastasize, or spread from a primary tumor to distant sites within the body. view more (2005-11-01)
New Technology To Help Early Skin Cancer Diagnosis
Computer scientists in the UK have invented a new technology to help doctors diagnose skin cancer while it is still in its early stages, greatly improving the chances of successful treatment. The work has been carried out by a team led by Dr Ela Claridge in the University of Birmingham's School of Computer Science. The Engineering and Physical... view more... (2000-04-11)
Study identifies risk factors for multiple melanoma skin cancer
Patients with a family history of multiple melanoma skin cancer are at increased risk of multiple primary melanomas. view more (2005-10-05)
Survival rates appear lower for scalp and neck melanoma than for other sites
Individuals with melanoma on their scalp or neck appear less likely to survive for five or 10 years than those with melanoma at other sites, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-04-22)
Survival after melanoma not affected by surgical background
Survival of melanoma patients does not depend on the surgical background of the person removing the primary tumour, concludes a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-27)
Early diagnosis key to melanoma cure
A combined strategy of public education and early diagnosis currently offers the only hope of cure for people with melanoma, warn senior doctors in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-04-28)
Social class dictates cancer risk
Cervical and lung cancer are more common in poor people while rates of breast cancer and melanoma are higher in the wealthy. view more (2008-09-26)
Reversing cancer cells to normal cells
In earlier work, Northwestern University scientist Mary J.C. Hendrix and colleagues discovered that aggressive melanoma cells (but not normal skin cells nor less aggressive melanoma cells) contain specific proteins similar to those found in embryonic stem cells. view more (2007-04-30)
Growing evidence for increased risk of breast and skin cancers among cabin crew
Cabin crew seem to be at increased risk of breast and skin cancers, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Researchers from Iceland looked at the chances of developing the potentially fatal skin cancer malignant melanoma, to see if there were any factors likely to increase the acknowledged risk among air crew. A survey of... view more... (2003-10-20)
NYU researchers demonstrate activity of mebendazole in metastatic melanoma
Researchers at the NYU Cancer Institute and the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology have identified mebendazole, a drug used globally to treat parasitic infections, as a novel investigational agent for the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant malignant melanoma. view more (2008-08-07)
Laser therapy can aggravate skin cancer
High irradiances of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) should not be used over melanomas. view more (2009-11-20)
Novel epigenetic markers of melanoma may herald new treatments for patients
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, diagnosed in more than 50,000 new patients in the United States annually. While the rate of incidences continues to rise, survival rate has not improved and the race is on to find the genetic and cellular changes driving melanoma and to devise new means of detection and treatment. view more (2009-06-30)
Combination therapy packs 1-2 punch against melanoma
Disabling a protein frequently found in melanoma tumors may make the cancer more vulnerable to chemotherapy, according to a pilot study led by researchers in the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2008-06-02)
Quarter of a million children in England at risk of skin cancer from sunbeds
An estimated quarter of a million 11-17 year olds in England are being put at increased risk of developing malignant melanoma by using sunbeds, warn researchers in a letter to this week's BMJ. view more (2009-11-13)
OHSU Cancer Instutute researchers find abnormalities in gene for melanoma
New research from the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute about mutations in melanoma may bring a wellspring of hope to many patients. view more (2008-05-30)
