Abstract:Pathobiologic characteristics of cerebral and cutaneous melanoma may cause an increase in mortality resulting from brain metastases in advanced melanoma patients, in addition to anatomic lesions and biological effects caused by the tumor location. We established intracranial and subcutaneous melanoma models using cultured malignant cells derived from amelanotic melanoma. The median survival times in a mouse model with intracranial tumors was 20 days, but a mouse model with subcutaneous tumors did not show cach… Show more
