Treatment of metastatic melanoma using electroporation therapy with bleomycin (electrochemotherapy).

abstract：:Little is known on whether melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) associated cutaneous melanoma (CM) risk varies depending on histological subtype and body site, and whether tumour thickness at diagnosis (the most important prognostic factor for CM patients) differs between MC1R variant carriers and wild-type individuals. We ...
