MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY IN MELANOMA
Dr José Luis Rodríguez PeraltoHospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain
AN IMPORTANT HEALTH PROBLEM
• Melanoma is one of the most aggressive tumours (79% of skin cancer
death)
• In Europe, 2.5% of all cancers. 1-2% death by cancer (5000 deaths by
melanoma a year in Europe)
• Incidence has increased dramatically in last decades (15 times in last 50
years)
• Incidence in Spain: 15:100.000 inhabitants (depend on regions)
• The rate of mortality has not increased in the same average as
incidence (early diagnostic)
• Extremely bad prognosis, especially in advanced stages. Resistance to
chemotherapy
BIOLOGY OF MELANOMA

SIGNATURE OF METASTASES
233 highly differentially expressed genes (median differences > 2 fold ratio threshold)
Up and down regulated genes were classified according to functional categories
Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition: EMT
- Related with cell adhesion, cell motility and Extracellular matrix interaction
- Operates during organogenesis
- First step in tumour invasion and metastases
- Melanocytes adquires mesenchymal phenotype with migratory and invasive properties

• Expression of E-cadherin in Keratinocytes and Melanocytes
•Trough E-cadherin keratinocytes dictate melanocytes behaviour
• Maintenance of E-cadherin expression by keratinocytes
•Early melanomas begin to lose expresssion of E-cadherin and escape keratinocyte control
• More advanced melanomas begin to express N-cadherin and interact with other cells that express N-cadherin like fibroblasts and endothelial cells

TREATMENT
• Surgery: Surgical excision with free margin.
• Elective lymph node dissection
• Surgical excision of isolated metastasis
• Regional Radiotherapy
• Pharmacological Immunomodulator
• Chemotherapy…
IFN a2b : In Medium risk melanomas (Breslow 1.5-4mm) or high risk of systemic recurrence (Breslow >4 mm and/or systemic lymph node involvement).
Limited efficacy. 10-20% improvement of free survival. No decreasment of mortality rate.
Chemotherapy: In advance stages. Dacarbacin/Temozolomide.
Useful in less 20% of patients. Transitory responses.
IL-2: approved for IV stage. Useful in an small % of patient. Long Hospitality. High
toxicity.
… None systemic treatment has demonstrated a significant survival in mestastatic melanoma…

CONCLUSIONS
The conventional H&E criteria are still the most useful in melanoma diagnostic and prognostic factors (Brelow I, ulceration, Growth phase). Brelow’s index is the most important prognostic factor Some tools (tissue arrays, cDNA arrays, RT-PCR) may be useful in order to discover new molecules that can help us to predict melanoma aggressiveness
Melanomas with Bcl6 expression or loss p16 have much more metastatic capability and kill the patient faster
Epithelium-mesenchymal transition molecular changes are directly involved in melanoma progression
FUTURE
B-Rafomas: Those melanomas of Non chronic sun damage skin (trunk) susceptible to be treated with anti-BRAF drugs
C-Kitomas: Lentiginous Melanomas especially, lentigo maligna
and acral lentiginous melanomas with c-Kit mutations
Gnaqomas: Ocular Melanomas (Gnaq-11 mutations)
