Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in key-regulator genes of disease pathogenesis (BRAF, cKIT, CyclinD1) have been evaluated in patients with multiple primary melanoma (MPM). METHODS: One hundred twelve MPM patients (96 cases with two primary melanomas, 15 with three, and 1 with four) were included into the study. Paired synchronous/asynchronous MPM tissues (N=229) were analyzed for BRAF mutations and cKIT/CyclynD1 gene...
