Tissue counter analysis of dermatoscopic images of melanocytic skin tumours: preliminary findings.

abstract：:In several solid tumors, an increased stathmin expression is associated with both poor prognosis and resistance to certain chemotherapy types. However, the data regarding melanocytic lesions are very limited. The goals of our study are as follows: the assessment of stathmin expression in benign and malignant melanocyt...
