Source: MDLinx, September 2020

In the present study, the researchers sought to illustrate the clinicopathological features, genetic alterations and therapeutic targets of primary malignant melanoma of the oesophagus (PMME).

The clinicopathology and molecular pathology of 13 PMME cases and 10 skin malignant melanoma (SKMM) cases have been analyzed with next–generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry.

Data reported that the 3–year overall survival rate and the median survival time for PMME patients, respectively, were 23.1% and 11.9 months.
