Insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein 3 as a novel prognostic biomarker for acral lentiginous melanoma

Abstract excerpt

Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a distinctive histopathological subtype of melanoma that typically occurs on the palms, soles, and nail beds. Because of their anatomical locations, ALMs are typically diagnosed at late stages, resulting in a poor prognosis.1 Insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (IMP-3) plays significant roles in cell proliferation, migration, and adhesion by enhancing IGF-2...
