Abstract Purpose: The development of a genetic signature for the identification high-risk cutaneous melanoma tumors would provide valuable prognostic tool with value stage I and II patients who represent remarkably heterogeneous group 3% to 55% chance disease progression death 5 years from diagnosis. Experimental Design: A 28-gene was identified by analysis microarray expression data. Primary tumor tissue evaluated RT-PCR signature, radial basis machine (RBM) modeling performed predict risk...

The heterogeneous behavior of patients with melanoma makes prognostication challenging. To address this, a gene expression profile (GEP) test to predict metastatic risk was previously developed. This study evaluates the GEP's prognostic accuracy in an independent cohort cutaneous patients. multi-center analyzed primary tumors from 523 patients, using GEP classify as Class 1 (low risk) and 2 (high risk). Molecular classification correlated clinical outcome assessed along AJCC v7 staging...

A substantial number of patients who relapse and die from cutaneous melanoma (CM) are categorized as being at low risk by traditional staging factors. The 31-gene expression profile (31-GEP) test independently stratifies metastatic with CM (Class 1, 1A indicating lowest risk) or high 2,with 2B highest risk).To assess prediction the 31-GEP within 3 low-risk (according to American Joint Committee on Cancer) populations CM: those sentinel lymph node (SLN) negative, stage I IIA tumors, thin (≤1...

Can gene expression profiling be used to identify patients with T1-T2 melanoma at low risk for sentinel lymph node (SLN) positivity?Bioinformatics modeling determined a population in which 31-gene profile test predicted <5% SLN positivity. Multicenter, prospectively-tested (n = 1421) and retrospective 690) cohorts were validation outcomes, respectively.Patients 55-64 years ≥65 class 1A (low-risk) had positivity rates of 4.9% 1.6%. Class 2B (high-risk) 30.8% 11.9%. Melanoma-specific survival...

Objective: DecisionDx-Melanoma* is a 31-gene expression profile test that predicts the risk of metastasis in patients with primary cutaneous melanoma (CM). This study was designed to ascertain clinical management changes determined by outcome, which classifies CM being at low (Class 1) or high 2) for recurrence.Research design and methods: Medical charts were reviewed from 156 six institutions (three dermatology three surgical oncology practices) who consecutively tested between May 2013...

National guidelines recommend sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) be offered to patients with > 10% likelihood of (SLN) positivity. On the other hand, do not SLNB for T1a tumors without high-risk features who have < 5% a positive SLN. However, decision perform is less certain higher-risk T1 melanomas in which expected 5%-10% time. We hypothesized that integrating clinicopathologic 31-gene expression profile (31-GEP) score using advanced artificial intelligence techniques would provide more...
