Abstract excerpt
Beyond depth of invasion, there are very few prognostic markers to predict outcome in melanoma. It has been shown recently that the beta-catenin oncogene is mutated or shows altered subcellular localization suggesting that activation of beta-catenin mediated signaling plays a role in oncogenesis. We hypothesize that assessment of activated beta-catenin, as detected by a phospho-specific antibody, may be useful to...
