Melanoma epidemiology, biology and prognosis
Open accessAbstract
Melanoma is a cancer arising from the malignant transformation of melanocytes. These pigment-producing cells derive embryologically from pluripotent neural crest stem cells. During foetal development they not only predominantly migrate to and differentiate within the epidermis, but also to other extra-cutaneous pigment-containing sites such as the eyes, meninges, oesophagus and mucous membranes. Three subtypes of melanoma can therefore be characterised: cutaneous melanoma (the most common) arising from melanocytes in the epidermis, mucosal melanoma from melanocytes residing in the mucous membranes and uveal melanoma from melanocytes residing in the ocular stroma. In this chapter we will consider each of these melanoma subtypes in turn, highlighting the differences in epidemiology, biology and prognosis between them.

“During the normal cell cycle, CDK4 complexes with cyclin D, resulting in phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma (Rb1) protein, in turn releasing E2F-1 and thus allowing it to induce S-phase gene synthesis; p16 therefore acts as a negative regulator of the cell cycle [47,50].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
