Objective: To establish the prognostic value of knowledge of sentinel node status in melanoma. Design: Single center prospective observational study, with sentinel nodes identified by lymphoscintigraphy, γprobe, and ...
Objectives: To examine the role of sequential dermoscopy imaging in detecting incipient melanoma and to elucidate the impact of length of follow-up on the relevance of observed changes. Design: Baseline and follow-up ...
The investigation of nevus distribution by anatomic site has led to interesting hypotheses of divergent pathways to the development of melanoma. However, such hypotheses must be viewed in all their complexity, and the...
Objective: To determine the effect of facial skin resurfacing for treatment of actinic keratoses (AKs) and prophylaxis against new primary basal and squamous cell carcinomas in individuals with previous nonmelanoma sk...
Background: Recently, we identified and described dermoscopic aspects, present with a higher frequency in congenital melanocytic lesions with respect to acquired naevi. We also classified small- and medium-sized conge...
Background: There is a dearth of information regarding the occurrence of neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM) in a large cohort of persons with large congenital melanocytic nevi (LMCN) or multiple congenital melanocytic...
The association between cutaneous melanoma and non-Hodgkin’ s lymphoma (NHL) has been described. Herein we describe two cases in which lymphoma was detected in the draining lymph node basin at the time of the finding...
Background: A new approach to prevent disease recurrence in high-risk melanoma patients involves immunization with gp100 and tyrosinase peptides. This is the first study to examine the effects of such treatments on ne...
Objective: To assess the frequency of occurrence and risk factors for multiple primary melanoma. Design: Population-based, case-control study. Setting: New Hampshire. Participants: Three-hundred fifty-four New Hampshi...
Objective: To develop skin self-examination skills by improving the use of the ABCDE criteria by those at risk of developing melanoma. Design: Ten single- sex groups of 10 unrelated adults received a knowledge-based i...
