Update: current management issues in malignant melanoma.

abstract：:Cell clones derived from a human melanoma metastasis selected for different integrin profiles were examined in vitro for invasive potential and biological and biochemical features potentially related to this process. Clones which expressed high levels of integrins showed high invasive potential, extracellular matrix d...
