Seven of 56 patients with metastatic melanoma showed durability of complete or partial responses ranging from four months to the longest still ongoing at over 34 months, with five of the seven respons ...
Researchers, led by Steven A. Rosenberg, M.D., at the National Cancer Institute ( NCI ), part of the National Institutes of Health , have found that patients with advanced melanoma who had not respond ...
Researchers at the Burnham Institute found that a protein known for its role in gene regulation has another important function, that of initiating DNA repair. The study has been published in Mole ...
Researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stanford University Medical Center, have studied the impact of genetic alterations associated with human melanoma. They have generated human skin tis ...
Researchers from three Cancer Centers measured sunlight exposure in men and found that increased exposure to sunlight may decrease the risk of prostate cancer. "We believe that sunlight helps to re ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute ( NCI ), have discovered a new method that could accelerate the way cancer-causing genes are found and could ...
A study found the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer increasing among men and women under the age of 40. The overall incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer, consisting of squamous cell carcinoma ( ...
Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered a key signaling mechanism that may promote the ability of highly aggressive malignant melanoma cells to metastasize, or spread from a primary tum ...
Researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center ( MSKCC ) have found that melanoma patients with a family history of melanoma and/or dysplastic nevi are at high risk of developing multiple ...
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a novel, three-dimensional model that allows scientists to observe how interacting with the microenvironment of metastatic melanoma cells induces ...
A study has shown that the immune-stimulating hormone known as Interleukin-12 ( IL-12 ) can safely be administered with Interferon, another immune-system protein, as an experimental therapy for some c ...
People who carry a mutation in the melanoma susceptibility gene CDKN2A have a much lower risk of melanoma than has been suggested by previous estimates, although this risk is higher than that in the g ...
A study, published in the Cancer, found that older white women with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer are at greater risk for developing melanoma. " This study adds a history of the relatively ...
A decreased ability to repair chromosomal damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet B ( UV-B ) radiation in test tubes may be associated with an increased risk of the common skin cancers basal cell car ...
