The advent of large-scale genomic profiling of melanoma is revealing considerable heterogeneity, suggesting that melanomas could be subgrouped according to their patterns of oncogenic mutation and gene expression. It is hoped that this subgrouping will allow for the personalization of melanoma therapy u...
So far, curative treatment is achieved only by surgical resection of primary tumours at an early stage (Balch et al, 2001; Balch et al, 2004). Chemotherapy with the alkylating agents dacarbazine (DTIC) and temozolomide (TMZ) has not shown any effect on median overall survival of patients (...

2 b) [66, 67]. Findings regarding the ability of vasculogenic mimicry to supply nutrients and oxygen in the early stage of melanoma growth have been also reported, as well as results demonstrating the role of angiogenesis to replace vasculogenic mimicry for blood supply in late stage of ...
