Melanogenesis affects overall and disease-free survival in patients with stage III and IV melanoma
Open accessAbstract
Because melanogenesis can affect immune responses to and chemotherapy and radiotherapy for melanoma, we analyzed overall survival and disease-free survival times in melanoma patients in relation to the degree of tumor pigmentation. Clinicopathologic data were obtained from the Oncology Centre, Prof Franciszek Łukaszczyk Memorial Hospital, Bydgoszcz, Poland. The overall survival and disease-free survival analyses were performed using the log-rank test, whereas differences between mean/median overall survival and disease-free survival (days) were analyzed using the Student t test. In patients with metastatic disease, those with melanotic melanomas exhibited significantly shorter disease-free survival and overall survival than those with amelanotic lesions. Similarly, melanin-producing lymph node metastases were linked to shorter overall survival and disease-free survival, which was confirmed by a significantly longer mean/median disease-free survival for amelanotic versus melanotic metastases. Melanogenesis shortens overall survival and disease-free survival in patients with metastatic melanoma. Inhibition of melanogenesis appears a rational adjuvant approach to the therapy of metastatic melanoma.

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.
