Lymphatic expression of the proliferation marker Ki67 is linked to sentinel node positivity, recurrence and mortality in primary cutaneous melanoma Open
Lymphangiogenesis is a precursor to lymphovascular invasion, and may therefore signal a higher risk of metastasis and mortality in primary cutaneous melanoma. This retrospective longitudinal study aimed to evaluate whether emergent lymphan…

Conditional survival in patients with stage IB‐IIIA melanoma undergoing sentinel node biopsy in Queensland: A longitudinal study Open
Background Tumour characteristics such as thickness and ulceration, along with sentinel lymph node (SLN) status, have been essential in predicting survival in patients with locally invasive melanomas at the time of diagnosis. It is unclear…

A first-in-human study of BLZ-100 (tozuleristide) demonstrates tolerability and safety in skin cancer patients Open
BLZ-100 (tozuleristide) is an intraoperative fluorescent imaging agent that selectively detects malignant tissue and can be used in real time to guide tumor resection. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and p…

Germline variants are associated with increased primary melanoma tumor thickness at diagnosis Open
Germline genetic variants have been identified, which predispose individuals and families to develop melanoma. Tumor thickness is the strongest predictor of outcome for clinically localized primary melanoma patients. We sought to determine…

Unintended consequences of changes to lung allocation policy Open
Organ allocation for transplantation aims to balance the principles of justice and medical utility to optimally utilize a scarce resource. To address practical considerations, the United States is divided into 58 donor service areas (DSA),…

Molecular markers to complement sentinel node status in predicting survival in patients with high-risk locally invasive melanoma Open
Sentinel lymph node status is a major prognostic marker in locally invasive cutaneous melanoma. However, this procedure is not always feasible, requires advanced logistics and carries rare but significant morbidity. Previous studies have l…
