which are either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer, but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmfu...
A malignant tumor is a cancerous tumor capable of metastasis, or the ability to spread to healthy tissues in other parts of the body. Learn how to define a malignant tumor, then explore its possible treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. ...

P53 is found often in familial melanoma cases. The gene, when it operates normally, helps the body repair mutated cells to prevent, amongst other things, cancer from developing. However when p53 is altered it can’t operate its job properly and allow cancers to grow. Heavy UV light that da...
Melanoma is a tumor of melanocytes, or pigmented cells in the body. Malignant melanomas in dogs can be an aggressive cancer. We worry about both about the growth of the local tumor, as well as the potential for this tumor type to metastasize, or spread, to places like the local lymph ...
Various adjuvant therapy trials in high risk melanoma are at present ongoing in the world. Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and ganglioside vaccines are currently being evaluated on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In Europe, the two largest randomized trials are being carried out by the EORTC ...
First, we saw approval of ipilimumab in melanoma, and then we saw the approval of pembrolizumab in melanoma and lung cancer. In 2015, we saw five approvals of single and combination therapies, and really the field is now exploding, as we saw here this year at ASCO. So, the data that ...
The RAF/RAS/MAPK pathway has a pivotal role in cancer progression by supporting cancer cell proliferation, survival, and migration.47 This pathway is especially relevant in cutaneous melanoma, which frequently harbor gain-of-function mutations in B-RAF (∼40–50%) and N-RAS (15–20%).48 ...
