摘要: Conventional clinico-pathological features in melanoma patients should be integrated with new molecular diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic factors coming from the expanding genomic profiles. Cutaneous (CM), even differing biological behavior according to sun-exposure levels on skin areas where it arises, is molecularly heterogeneous. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches are providing data mutation landscapes driver genes that may account for distinct pathogenetic mechanisms pathways. purpose was group classify all somatic mutations observed main NGS-based studies. Whole exome whole genome have provided spectrum distribution of genetic alterations as well allowed discover cancer underlying CM pathogenesis. After evaluating mutational status a cohort 686 cases most representative NGS studies, three subtypes were proposed: BRAFmut, RASmut, non-BRAFmut/non-RASmut.
