[Prognosis and invasion marker expression of cutaneous melanoma. Metastasis-associated genes (nm23, CD44v3, MMP2].

Abstract excerpt

For the evaluation of the prognosis of the melanoma malignum (MM) several markers have been used before but none of them was powerful enough therefore a search for new markers is justified. The authors have studied the expression of three metastasis associated proteins, nm23, CD44v3 and MMP2 collagenase using immunohistochemistry on the paraffin embedded tissue samples of 22 primary skin melanomas. The expression...
