Is genital and anorectal mucosal melanoma associated with cutaneous melanoma in patients and in families?
This study shows that GAMM and CM may occur in the same patient, and GAMM may develop in a familial setting. The association of both GAMM and CM in patients and families suggests shared genetic factors by these two types of melanoma.
High levels of procoagulant MPs are present in the CSF and peripheral blood of patients with ICH and may contribute to the pathogenesis of ICH. The levels of CSF and plasma MPs after spontaneous onset of ICH seem to correlate with clinical outcome in these patients. Taking clinical complexity into account, only plasma MP levels can be served as useful clinical markers for evaluating the prognosis of ICH.
