Future perspectives in melanoma research. Meeting report from the "Melanoma Research: a bridge Naples-USA. Naples, December 6th-7th 2010".

Progress in understanding the molecular basis of melanoma has made possible the identification of molecular targets with important implications in clinical practice. In fact, new therapeutic approaches are emerging from basic science and it will be important to implement their rapid translation into clinical practice by active clinical investigation. The first meeting of Melanoma Research: a bridge Naples-USA, organized by Paolo A.

Impact of multiple lymphatic channel drainage to a single nodal basin on outcomes in melanoma.

Objective: To determine the impact of multiple lymphatic channels (MLCs) on outcome in melanoma.
