This study provides compelling evidence for the importance of metabotropic glutamate signaling in melanocytic neoplasia and detects expression of GRM1 in a number of human melanoma biopsies and cell lines but not in benign nevi and melanocytes.

The importance of glutamate signaling in human melanoma is suggested and the suppression of glutamate signalling may be a new target for melanoma therapy.

The effects of 17-AAG on RAF kinase expression were short-lived, and no objective antimelanoma responses were seen, suggesting that future trials in melanoma should focus on a more potent hsp90 inhibitor or a formulation that can be administered chronically for a more prolonged suppression of the MAPK pathway.
Prospective multi-institutional study of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for molecular staging of melanoma.

In this large, prospective, multi-institutional study, RT-PCR analysis on SLNs and PBMCs provides no additional prognostic information beyond standard histopathologic analysis of SLNs, and RT- PCI remains investigational and should not be used to direct adjuvant therapy at this time.
Lessons learned from the Sunbelt Melanoma Trial

A practical definition of sentinel nodes based on the degree of radioactivity is developed and the low rate of postoperative complications associated with SLN biopsy as compared to complete lymph node dissection is established, suggesting that completion lymphadenectomy is appropriate for such patients.
Factors Associated with False-Negative Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Melanoma Patients

This is the largest study to evaluate false-negative sentinel lymph node results in melanoma, with a FN rate of 10.8%.
Store-Operated Ca2 + Entry (SOCE) Regulates Melanoma Proliferation and Cell Migration
- M. Umemura, E. Baljinnyam, K. Iwatsubo
- BiologyPLoS ONE
- 21 February 2014
The findings indicate that SOCE contributes to melanoma progression, and therefore may be a new potential target for treatment of melanoma, irrespective of whether or not Braf mutation is present.

Mucin vaccination is safe and might serve to enhance specific responses to tumor antigens and increasing serum levels of IL-6 correlated with constitutional symptoms and hypoalbuminemia but not with the extent of skin breakdown at vaccination sites.
