## Abstract The membrane cytoskeleton crossβlinker, ezrin, has recently been depicted as a key regulator in the progression and metastasis of several pediatric tumors. Less defined appears the role of ezrin in human adult tumors, especially melanoma. We therefore addressed ezrin involvement in the

The adhesive behaviour of a series of human melanoma cell lines, of varying metastatic potential, to basement membrane and stromal components was investigated in vitro. Experimental metastatic propensity was assessed from the number of pulmonary nodules formed after i.v. injection of cells into BALB
Escape from immune surveillance is critical for tumor progression in metastatic melanoma. We assessed the function of melanoma-derived dendritic cells (DCs) in patients presenting simultaneously with responding (rM) or progressing (pM) melanoma metastases. These rare coincidences allowed us to compa
## Abstract Melanoma is the most lethal form of human skin cancer. However, only limited chemotherapy is currently available for the metastatic stage of the disease. Since chemotherapy, radiation and sodium arsenite treatment operate mainly through induction of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway,
## Abstract Delimotecan (MEN 4901/Tβ0128) is a new cytotoxic prodrug constituted by a camptothecin analog (Tβ2513) bound to carboxymethyl dextran through a triglycine linker. A significant antitumor activity of delimotecan against human metastatic melanoma xenograft model Me15392 is reported. Dacar
The study of specific immunity in human cancers has been hampered by the elusive distribution and heterogeneity of effector cells. In this study, we have investigated the distribution of autologous melanoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in 18 different distant metastases from melanomas (9
