Melanoma
A cancer of the pigment-forming cells of the skin or the retina of the eye.
The most significant sign of melanoma is changes in a mole. A mole body map can enable you to monitor your moles and help you catch melanoma when it is still in the early, highly-curable stages.Contributor: Jane GoodPublished: Jan 07, 2010

Inhibition of transcription factor E2F1 reduced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and reduced the invasive potential but not proliferation of metastatic melanoma cells, according to a brief communication published online December 23 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. To investigate E2F1's role in cancer progression, Brigitte M. Pützer, M.D., Ph.D...

Background:
Past studies have shown that sensitivity of melanoma cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis is largely correlated with the expression levels of TRAIL death receptors on the cell surface. However, fresh melanoma isolates and melanoma tissue sections express generally low levels of death receptors for TRAIL. The clinical potential of TRAIL in the treatment of melanoma may therefore be limited unless given with agents that increase the...
