Malignant Melanoma - The density of hair is inversely related to pigmented lesion count
Mediastinal Hemangioma - A rare case of sclerosing hemangioma is isolated to the mediastinum
Melanoma - Glucocorticoid hormone resistance may be due to increased STAT3 and PI-3 kinase
Melanoma - Increasing oxygen and acidity by glucose/iodobenzylguanidine may improve outcome
Metastatic Melanoma - Fotemustine plus whole brain irradiation works better than fotemustine alone
Myeloma - Osteoprotegerin is a decoy receptor for TRAIL ligand, protecting from apoptosis
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma - Nasopharyngeal cancer pain during radiation therapy is often undertreated
Occupational Exposure - TP53 mutations may act as fingerprints for exposure to specific carcinogens
