B16 sub-cutaneous melanoma is a slow-growing tumor when compared to the L1210 and P388 leukemias. This is a very tedious tumor on which very few drugs were found to be significantly active, (i.e., % ILS > 40%). [Pg.12]

Microarray-based gene expression profiling for gene and pathway discovery, functional classification of genes, and new tumor sub-classifications have also been applied to various other malignancies including lung, bladder and prostate cancer, and cutaneous melanoma (reviewed in Refs. 77 80).

A 60-year-old smoker was treated with interferon alfa (100 MU/week for 2 months and 9 MU/week for 15 weeks) for cutaneous melanoma. Ocular examination was normal before treatment, but he developed acute loss of peripheral vision in his left eye after 23 weeks. Examination was consistent with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, and there was optic disc edema, a pupillary defect, and circular visual field constriction in the left eye. There was renal artery constriction in both eyes. Despite treatment with aspirin, high-dose dexamethasone, heparin, and finally withdrawal of interferon alfa, loss of visual function progressed and affected both eyes. Ciclosporin was started, but he was considered to have irreversible loss of visual function. [Pg.1798]

Short-term reactions are not uncommon. They include erythema, burns, nausea, pruritus, headache, and dizziness. Hypersensitivity reactions, which are uncommon, include drug fever, skin rashes, and bronchial asthma. Long-term treatment increases the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers and possibly of cutaneous melanoma. [Pg.2823]

Chronic 8-MOP administration of up to 75 mg kg for 2 years increases the incidence of renal tubular cell hyperplasia, adenomas, and adenocarcinomas of the kidney and carcinomas of the zymbal gland in male rats. 8-MOP with the addition of UVA induces the development of squamous cell hyperplasia, squamous cell papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and cataracts in rats.

Cutaneous melanoma is becoming a common cancer, but it is a cancer that can be prevented and cured if detected early. Public education about screening and early detection is an effective strategy for control ling the increase in the incidence and the mortality associated with cutaneous melanoma. [Pg.2525]

Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for the development of cutaneous melanoma. Immunodehciency includes those individuals with ataxia telangiectasia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin s lymphoma, and immunosuppression following organ transplant. Acquired immunodehciency syndrome also has been shown to increase the risk of developing cutaneous melanoma. Personal history of nonmelanoma or melanoma skin cancers is a risk factor for subsequent melanoma. [Pg.2526]
