Article Abstract

Cutaneous melanoma (CM), with a continuously rising incidence worldwide, represents the most aggressive type of skin cancer, and it leads to the majority of skin cancer-related deaths. Approximately 50% of CM carry the activating BRAF mutation and, although BRAF inhibitors have demonstrated clinical efficacy, most patients often develop early resistance to treatment. Aberrant expression of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which represent less than 2% of the entire transcriptome, has been implicated in CM development and progression. By using BRAF-mutant CM in vitro and in vivo models, we have recently demonstrated that the loss of Spry1 expression impairs BRAF-mutant CM progression. Therefore, the extensive long and small ncRNA datasets generated in this study might represent a valuable resource for the characterization of their roles in BRAF-mutant CM initiation and progression upon Spry1 loss, thus providing a comprehensive resource to support future studies on BRAF-mutant CM.

Ultrasonographic Analysis of Site-Specific Plantar Skin Thickness for Melanoma Staging and Excision.

Clin Anat

September 2025

Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Institute, BK21 FOUR Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul, South Korea.

Plantar melanomas present unique diagnostic and surgical challenges owing to substantial regional variations in skin thickness. Although the Breslow thickness remains the primary criterion for staging and surgical excision, its application on plantar melanoma is complicated by the inherent thickness of the glabrous plantar epidermis, which may lead to tumor depth overestimation. Accurate assessment of plantar skin thickness is essential for optimizing staging accuracy and refining surgical margins.

Significance: Melanoma's rising incidence demands automatable high-throughput approaches for early detection such as total body scanners, integrated with computer-aided diagnosis. High-quality input data is necessary to improve diagnostic accuracy and reliability.

Aim: This work aims to develop a high-resolution optical skin imaging module and the software for acquiring and processing raw image data into high-resolution dermoscopic images using a focus stacking approach.

Evaluation of Paediatric Melanoma Management in a UK Major Tertiary Centre: A Twenty-Year Review.

Cureus

August 2025

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, GBR.

Objectives: This study evaluates the management of paediatric melanoma at a tertiary centre, comparing clinical practices with international guidelines from the European Cooperative Study Group for Pediatric Rare Tumors (EXPeRT) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) to highlight real-world practices and make recommendations for future research priorities. The differences between conventional and Spitzoid melanomas were also explored in a subgroup analysis.

Background: Paediatric melanoma is rare and is most commonly caused by UV exposure or familial mutations.

Introduction: Skin cancers primarily affect people of White ethnicity and lighter skin tones, but people of other ethnicities may face diagnostic delays and experience higher mortality, reflecting existing inequities in healthcare. This is the first study showing incidence data from the National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) cancer registry in England for skin cancers stratified by the seven broad ethnic groups.

Methods: We used data from NDRS from 2013-20 to analyse melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), and Kaposi sarcoma (KS).

Cellular Senescence and Immunosenescence in Melanoma: Insights From the Tumor Microenvironment.

Cancer Med

September 2025

Department of Chinese Medicine, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.

Background: Melanoma is one of the most immunogenic malignancies, yet resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains a major obstacle to durable therapeutic success. Emerging evidence indicates that aging-related processes, including cellular senescence and immunosenescence, can reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME) to favor immune evasion and disease progression. Senescent melanoma and stromal cells secrete a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that alters immune cell recruitment and function, while immunosenescence leads to diminished cytotoxic responses and the accumulation of dysfunctional or suppressive immune subsets.
