Given that dietary intakes of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids have divergent effects on melanoma growth, researchers sought to examine trends of dietary consumption of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and diagnostic melanoma thickness.

The predictive and prognostic significance of cell-free DNA concentration in melanoma
In this study with a discovery cohort (n = 20) and expansion cohort (n = 166) including metastatic melanoma patients and healthy donors (n = 116), researchers sought to validate universal predictive and prognostic biomarkers, given that most of the liquid?biopsy biomarkers depend on the analyses of oncogenic mutations, however, approximately 20% of melanoma patients are wild?type.
Real-world outcomes of advanced melanoma patients not represented in phase 3 trials
Researchers sought to report on systemically treated patients with advanced melanoma, that were not represented in phase 3 trials, to support clinical decision?making.
Prostate-specific membrane antigen expression in melanoma metastases
Researchers examined the performance of prostate?specific membrane antigen (PSMA) immunohistochemistry on resected melanoma metastases to determine its use as a diagnostic imaging biomarker for melanoma.
