Biology of melanoma
  • development and progression

Biology of melanoma
  1. Melanocytes ?
  2. Nevus ?
  3. Dysplastic nevus ?
  4. Radial growth phase ?
  5. Vertical growth phase ?
  6. Metastases.

5
Melanoma Nevi
  • Class I Precursor
  • Class II Intermediate
  • Class III VGP tumorigenic
  • VGP vertical growth phase

6
Cell cycle regulation in melanoma
7
Expression of defined molecules in melanoma cell
8
  • Express adhesions receptors,
  • Integrins, Adherine, and cellular
  • adhesions molecules

9
  • melanoma cells express N-adherine instead of
    E-adherine.
  • E-adherine allows melanocytes to adhere to
    keratinocytes, while melanoma cells can not
    adhere to keratinocytes

Biology- what is new?
  • PTEN pathway phosphatase and tensin deleted on
    chromosome 10 ?
  • IGF-1 ? Akt / PKB (Oncogene)PtdIns(3,4)P2? P13
    kinase ?growth factor adhesion receptor

  • prognostic factors using data from 48 papers
  • Vollmer

65
Thickness vs. Level
  • Tumor thickness significant

66
Thickness vs. Level
  • Level of invasion important
  • prognostic factor in only 8 of 48
  • Studies
  • Vollmer

67
Thickness vs. Level
  • Tumor thickness
  • 1 , 2, 4 mm
  • Best for survival data
  • Adopted in 2002 AJCC
  • Buttner
  • Buzaid

68
Thickness vs. Level- conclusion
  • Clark level of invasion is a minor prognostic
    factor
  • cutoffs of tumor thickness such as 1mm, 2mm and
    4mm provide better prognostic information
  • 2002 AJCC staging of melanoma

69
Ulceration prognostic significance
  • Significant prognostic factor
  • Vollmer - multivariate analysis in
  • 7 of 11 studies

70
Ulceration prognostic significance
  • strongest predictors of outcome
  • Balch - meta-analysis that
  • included 15,798 patients with
  • localized melanoma

71
Ulceration prognostic significance
  • Ulceration has the most significant impact on
    survival.
  • Buzaid influence of ulceration according to the
    tumor thickness

72
Ulceration
  • Acantholysis
  • Shows autocrine and paracrine pathways are active
  • Adverse prognosis

73
Ulceration prognostic significance
  • Independent prognostic factor
  • Included in AJCC 2002 staging
  • Upstage patients compared with those having tumor
    of same thickness

74
Satellites vs. In-transit metastases
  • In transit and satellite metastases common
    manifestations of intralymphatic metastasis
  • associated with poor prognosis

75
Satellites vs. In-transit metastases
  • prognosis of patient with satellites is usually
    worse than that of patient with in-transit or
    nodal metastasis (stage III)

  • ELND
  • or
  • Sentinel LN biopsy ?

101
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
  • Sensible approach
  • In view of low occult metastasis - 12-15 It
    allows upto 85 of patients with melanoma to be
    spared a formal lymph node dissection, thus
    avoiding complication associated with that
    procedure

102
  • SLN biopsy
  • 100 sensitive
  • 97 specific
  • Pu Plast Reconstruct Surg 1999

103
  • No decrease in survival compared with patients
    undergoing ELND

    more accurate than ELND

Summary
  • No role of wide margins
  • No role of ELND
  • No role of Prophylactic ILP
  • Role of SLN
  • Interferon alpha2b ?DFS , ? OS
  • ? EOCG HDI 1684, EOCG1690
  • French LDI Grob 2000- in selected cases

Summary Rx
  • Primary surgical
  • Surgical principles
  • Complete surgical excision
  • Minimum margin 1.0 cm
  • Maximum margin 2.0 cm
  • Do not excise beyond deep fascia

145
MM management of lymph nodes
  • Biopsy FNAC preferred
  • Elective dissection for
  • Clinically involved nodes,
  • Satellitosis,
  • Lymphatic invasion

146
Sentinel lymph node biopsy
  • Detects micrometastasis in lymph nodes
  • Inrtadermal injection of radioactive colloid
    around lesion
  • Lymph node identified by gamma probe

147
Sentinel lymph node biopsy
  • Intraoperative identification by using patent
    blue dye
  • Identify patients appropriate for elective
    dissection
  • Identify patients among high risk for adjuvant
    interferon.
