## Abstract Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 61 melanoma patients were tested by a microcytotoxicity test for cellโmediated immunity against melanoma cells. Lymphocytes from 13/25 patients were cytotoxic for autologous tumour cells, while lymphocytes from 31/56 patients were cytotoxic in the allog

## Abstract Lymphocytes from 16 stage 1, 6 stage II and 31 stage III melanoma patients (MP) and 51 healthy donors (HD) were tested as far as possible in parallel on a melanoma cell line (NK1โ4), a bladder carcinoma cell line (T 24) and 18 different shortโterm melanoma cultures. Lymphocytes from MP
## BACKGROUND. Cancer patients with single tumors live longer today due to earlier detection and improved treatment methods. For this reason, the authors see more patients who develop a second primary tumor. The etiology of the second tumor can be the same as the first, whether treatment-induced or
## Abstract The presence of multiple primary cutaneous melanomas (MPM) has been advocated as guidance to identifying melanoma families. Frequencies of __CDKN2A__ mutations in materials of sporadic MPM cases from pigmented lesion clinics vary between 8 and 15%. Patients with MPM have therefore been
## Abstract Germline mutations in the __CDKN2A__ gene have been shown to predispose individuals to cutaneous malignant melanoma. Here, we describe three melanomaโprone families and one isolated patient affected by multiple melanoma who carried a tandem germline mutation of __CDKN2A__ at the nucleot
