By Raymond L. Barnhill
Hugely acclaimed and thought of the prime reference within the box, Pathology of Melanocytic Nevi and Malignant Melanoma has now been absolutely revised and up-to-date to accomodate fast advances within the box of cancer pathology. Drs. Michael Piepkorn and Klaus Busam have now joined Dr. Barnhill, world-renowned specialist in dermatology and pathology, to extend the textual content with new sections at the genetics and cytogenetics of melanoma, sentinal lymph node biopsy, the hot AJCC TNM staging process for cancer, the mechanisms of cancer metastasis. The profitable concentration and layout of the 1st version were preserved. each one lesion and prognosis is obviously illustrated, now with more than 340 new, digitally better full-color photomicrographs and over a hundred twenty five tables. A corresponding summary, or concise description of the medical positive aspects, histopathology, differential analysis, and notable features of every lesion presents readers with a brief but finished evaluation of every subject coated. With the inclusion of contemporary advances in melanoma study and new recommendations, the second one variation of Pathology of Melanocytic Nevi and Malignant Melanoma is the basic reference for each training dermatopathologist, pathologist, dermatologist, and melanoma examine scientist at the present time.

Sample text
There is an inverse correlation between expression of the ARF protein, as detected by immunostaining, and progression of melanoma, so that expression may be completely lost in metastatic tumors by promoter hypermethylation or post-transcriptional mechanisms (85). Two families have now been described in which segregating mutations in EIß of the ARF reading frame accounts for the genetic susceptibility to melanoma; in other families, mutations at the chromosome 9p21 locus outside of EIß perturb, in about 40% of all cases, the expression of both CDKN2A and ARF, thus impairing the nucleolar localization of ARF and diminishing the ability of that protein to activate the pS3 pathway (86-88).
