Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Knowledge about diagnostic procedures in melanoma has advanced rapidly in recent years, particularly with the identification of single tumor cells in normal tissues like sentinel lymph nodes, bone marrow, and peripheral blood through molecular technologies. The introduction of polymerase chain reaction-based methods marks a significant shift towards molecular approaches in diagnostics, potentially influencing treatment strategies for patients. However, there are notable discrepancies in the success rates of these new techniques for detecting minimal residual disease in cancer patients. While various studies have reported favorable outcomes, it will take time to establish the clinical and pathophysiological relevance of these new diagnostic methods. The 1st International Symposium on Minimal Residual Disease in Melanoma, held in September 1999 in Homburg/Saar, Germany, aimed to discuss recent advancements in this area of cancer research. The event fostered dialogue and the exchange of new data among leading international scientists. This volume summarizes key topics from basic research and clinical investigations presented by invited experts, highlighting the ongoing exploration and challenges in the field of melanoma research.
