“…Thickness of melanomas is recorded as the depth in millimeters of the lesion, and we categorized the thicknesses in the same groups as found in Levi et al (1998), for comparative purposes -these thickness groupings (<0.75mm, 0.75-1 .49mm, 1.50-2.49mm, 2.50-3.99mm, >3.99mm and unknown) also represent the levels most commonly used to describe the changing incidence of melanoma, as they are considered representative of the severity of disease: those <0.75mm rarely recur after removal, those 0.75-1.49mm have a greater chance of recurrence but a small chance of mortality, and those >3.99mm have an almost universal prognosis of multiple recurrence and short survival time in clinical series. …”

OBJECTIVE Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), sometimes referred to as “stereotactic laser ablation,” has demonstrated utility in a subset of high-risk surgical patients with difficult to access (DTA) intracranial neoplasms. However, the treatment of tumors larger than 10 cm3 is associated with suboptimal outcomes and morbidity. This may limit the utility of LITT in dealing with precisely those large or deep tumors that are most difficult to treat with conventional approaches. Recently, several groups have reported on minimally invasive transsulcal approaches utilizing tubular retracting systems. However, these approaches have been primarily used for intraventricular or paraventricular lesions, and subtotal resections have been reported for intraparenchymal lesions. Here, the authors describe a combined approach of LITT followed by minimally invasive transsulcal resection for large and DTA tumors. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the results of LITT immediately followed by minimally invasive, transsulcal, transportal resection in 10 consecutive patients with unilateral, DTA malignant tumors > 10 cm3. The patients, 5 males and 5 females, had a median age of 65 years. Eight patients had glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), 1 had a previously treated GBM with radiation necrosis, and 1 had a melanoma brain metastasis. The median tumor volume treated was 38.0 cm3. RESULTS The median tumor volume treated to the yellow thermal dose threshold (TDT) line was 83% (range 76%–92%), the median tumor volume treated to the blue TDT line was 73% (range 60%–87%), and the median extent of resection was 93% (range 84%–100%). Two patients suffered mild postoperative neurological deficits, one transiently. Four patients have died since this analysis and 6 remain alive. Median progression-free survival was 280 days, and median overall survival was 482 days. CONCLUSIONS Laser interstitial thermal therapy followed by minimally invasive transsulcal resection, reported here for the first time, is a novel option for patients with large, DTA, malignant brain neoplasms. There were no unexpected neurological complications in this series, and operative characteristics improved as surgeon experience increased. Further studies are needed to elucidate any differences in survival or quality of life metrics.

METHODS: In this study, 166 malign melanoma patients that followed by Dokuz Eylul University Hospital Medical Oncology Clinic in years between 1996 and 2011 were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: 87 of patients is male, 79 is female. The median age is 52 (21-81). The most common site for malign melanoma is extremity; head, neck and body are less commonly involved. There is no statistically significant difference between primary tumor site and breslow thickness (p=0.109). Breslow thickness and survival are related statistically significant. Average survival time for Breslow thickness between 0 and 2mm is 125,6 months (99-151), 2 and 4 mm is 121,2 months (92-151) and over 4mm is 89 months (68-111) and difference between groups are statistically significant (p=0,012)...
