Tumori 97(1):35-8 (2011) PMID 21528661

Because of its high thickness, nodular melanoma often bears a poor prognosis. Thus, an earlier diagnosis of this type of lesion while it is still thin would be an important step in secondary prevention. The principal aim of the present study was to better define the initial clinical features of nodular melanoma to allow an early diagnosis. A secondary aim was to establish the prognosis of this type of lesion.

    We previously showed that several metabolic syndrome features that develop in LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-) mice fed a diabetogenic diet are worsened by dietary cholesterol. To test whether dietary cholesterol can alter the hepatic phenotype in the metabolic syndrome, we fed LDLR-/- mice a high f...

    We investigated clinical and therapeutic determinants of prognosis in these DM entities. We reviewed 118 PDM and 124 MDM treated at our Institute over 25 years. Local relapse, distant metastasis, and survival were studied. Most (91.7%) distant metastases in PDM developed after 1 or more local recurr...
