Published in 2018 at "Journal of Surgical Oncology"

DOI: 10.1002/jso.25193

Abstract: Identifying factors associated with nonsentinel lymph node (NSN) metastases in melanoma patients with a single positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) could aid decision making regarding adjuvant therapy. We describe a model for identifying patients with… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Journal of Surgical Oncology"

DOI: 10.1002/jso.25319

Abstract: New therapeutic modalities for melanoma promise benefit in selected individuals. Efficacy appears greater in patients with lower tumor burden, suggesting an important role for risk‐stratified surveillance. Robust predictive markers might permit optimization of agent to… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Journal of Surgical Oncology"

DOI: 10.1002/jso.25444

Abstract: Completion lymph node dissection (CLND) for sentinel lymph node (SLN) disease in melanoma patients is debated. We evaluated the impact of CLND on survival and assessed for predictors of nonsentinel node metastasis (positive CLND). read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy"

DOI: 10.1007/s00262-018-2258-1

Abstract: CTLA-4 blockade by means of ipilimumab (IPI) potentiates the immune response and improves overall survival (OS) in a minority of metastatic melanoma (MM) patients. We investigated the role of soluble CTLA-4 (sCTLA-4) as a possible… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Cancer letters"

DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2017.12.032

Abstract: T regulatory cells (Tregs), involved in tumour tolerance, can generate Adenosine by CD39/CD73 surface enzymes, which identify four Tregs subsets: CD39+CD73- nTregs, CD39+CD73+ iTregs, CD39-CD73+ oTregs and CD39-CD73- xTregs. In melanoma patients, increased Tregs levels… read more here.
