Mucosal melanomas of the head and neck: new aspects of the clinical outcome, molecular pathology, and treatment with c-kit inhibitors.

Melanoma research - 1 Dec 2011

Papaspyrou Giorgios, Garbe Claus, Schadendorf Dirk, Werner Jochen A, Hauschild Axel, Egberts Friederike

Abstract excerpt

Approximately 50% of mucosal melanomas affect the head and neck region representing approximately 9% of all malignant head and neck tumors. The pathogenesis of this disease is unknown. Mucosal melanomas are characterized by an aggressive biological behavior, leading to a 5-year survival rate of l...
