Archives of Dermatology is a monthly professional medical journal published by the American Medical Association. Archives of Dermatology publishes original, peer-reviewed reports and discussions that address the effectiveness of diagnosis... more
Biological research increasingly relies on network models to study complex phenomena. Signal Transduction Pathways are molecular circuits that model how cells receive, process, and respond to information from the environment providing... more
Glutathione (GSH) and cysteine (CysH) have both been implicated in the biogenesis of the pheomelanin precursor 5-S-cysteinyldopa (5-S-CD). However, recent studies have shown that only CysH is transported across the membrane of isolated... more
Frequent mutations have been described in the following 5 genes in uveal melanoma (UM): BAP1, EIF1AX, GNA11, GNAQ, and SF3B1. Understanding the prognostic significance of these mutations could facilitate their use in precision medicine.... more
The NCCN Guidelines for Uveal Melanoma include recommendations for staging, treatment, and follow-up of patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma of the choroid or ciliary body. In addition, because distinguishing between uveal melanoma and... more
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent of all skin cancers in the white population. Dermoscopy is a method that improves diagnosis in pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions, allowing early diagnosis, especially of incipient... more
The efficacy and modes of action of dibromodulcitol (DBD) and cisplatin (CDDP) were studied in several model systems. Combination treatments produced a longer survival time in mice bearing P388 solid lymphomas than either of the drugs... more
Personalized cancer care requires reliable biomarkers. While the BRAF V600E mutation is implemented in the clinic, no method for its detection has so far been established as reference. We aimed to perform a comprehensive comparison of... more
Solitary involvement of the pancreas in patients with malignant melanoma is rare and the role of surgery in these patients is not defined. We present a patient with prolonged survival following aggressive surgical management for a... more
Over the past years, considerable effort has been directed toward the identification of risk factors associated with the increasing incidence of cutaneous melanoma in white populations worldwide. Limited data are available from Argentine... more
To determine histologic and immunohistochemical predictors of metastasis of feline diffuse iris melanoma (FDIM). Globes from 47 client-owned cats enucleated for FDIM between January 1985 and December 2013. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained... more
The diagnosis and clinical management of spitzoid melanocytic tumors with atypical features remain problematic and controversial. In the past decade, sentinel lymph node mapping has been advocated as a diagnostic test in this setting to... more
