Enhanced Detection of Spitzoid Melanomas Using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization With 9p21 as an Adjunctive Probe

Abstract excerpt

The use of molecular diagnostic methods such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for challenging melanocytic neoplasms is becoming more widespread. In light of the diagnostic difficulty they pose, spitzoid melanocytic neoplasms constitute an area of greatest potential utilization. In this study we wished to evaluate the sensitivity of the currently used melanoma FISH probe assay in a group of unambiguous...
