Risk of melanoma following keratinocyte malignancies
Researchers intended to well-characterize patients at increased risk for melanoma following keratinocyte cancer, using a population-based cohort comprising 2,243 individuals with histologically-verified KC, selected from dermatology and pathology practices, and without a history of internal malignancy (1,363 BCC, 880 SCC).

Tumor cell-derived angiopoietin-2 promotes metastasis in melanoma
Given that the role of the Angiopoietin (Angpt)-TIE signaling pathway is to control vascular maturation as well as to maintain the quiescent phenotype of resting vasculature, and scattered reports have shown tumor cells as a source of ANGPT2, researchers performed in situ hybridization-based detection of ANGPT2 and identified that a subset of melanoma patients exhibited […]
