Clinical trial: Genetic Risk Factors and Acquired Oncogenic Mutations of Melanoma

Summary: Though it is generally accepted that exposure to sunlight is a major causative factor for skin cancer, the risk for developing melanoma is not directly linked to sun exposure such as in non-melanoma skin cancer. Therefore, a dual pathway has been proposed, distinguishing melanoma that develops on skin that is chronically exposed to sunlight from those that occur on skin that is normally protected. The risk for each type of melanoma is believed to be determined in part by genetic factors. To define these markers reproducibly, the investigators plan to establish a large cohort with comprehensive information regarding sun sensitivity (skin type), history of experienced sun exposure, skin pigmentation phenotypes, total number of nevi, and other types of skin tumors in a central European population. The investigators will obtain blood from all participants for DNA as well as serum analyses. Based on the finding that genetic variants of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene, associated with red hair and fair skin, have been shown to be associated with increased risk for melanoma, particularly those harboring BRAF mutations, the investigators will now focus on the study of recently discovered genetic variants associated with pigmentation. Furthermore, the investigators will study the relation of these variants with oncogenic mutations of melanoma in BRAF, RAS and c-Kit. The study of other genetic variants will follow, once a sufficiently large cohort has been established to reveal an independent genetic risk factor in a multivariate analysis including potential covariates as mentioned above. The identification of genetic risk factors for melanoma will not only help identify individuals with increased risk but also improve our understanding of the molecular background of the development of melanoma.

Clinical trial: Studying Tumor Tissue Samples From Patients With Melanoma Who Have Undergone Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

Summary: RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future.
  PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at tumor tissue samples from patients with melanoma who have undergone sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES:
  -  Develop a predictive model for sentinel lymph node biopsy positivity in patients with melanoma who have undergone sentinel lymph node biopsy.
  -  Develop a survival model for relapse based on sentinel lymph node biopsy positivity.
  -  Assess the genetic determinants in primary melanomas that predict a metastatic phenotype and thereby improve understanding of the biology of the metastases in melanoma.
  OUTLINE: This is a retrospective, case-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to Breslow thickness of the tumor (0.75-1.50 mm vs 1.51- 4 mm vs > 4 mm) and gender.
  Archived tumor tissue is analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for AP2, vascular endothelial growth factor, MMP 2, MCM4, and others, if feasible. Sentinel node biopsies are analyzed by IHC for CD31, LYVE-1, and D2-40 expression. RNA and DNA are also extracted for genetic expression studies and mutation analysis (e.g., BRAF, NRAS, PTEN, CDKN2A).
  Patient data related to relapse and recurrence is collected, if available.
  Peer reviewed and funded or endorsed by Cancer Research UK
  PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,000 patients will be accrued for this study.

Clinical trial: Study of Tumor Tissue Samples From Patients With Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III Malignant Melanoma

Summary: RATIONALE: Studying the genes expressed in samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.
  PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tumor tissue samples from patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III malignant melanoma.

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES:
  -  Determine the genetic profile of primary melanomas with and without synchronous regional nodal involvement by examining for 1) activating mutations B-Raf and N-Ras associated with melanoma development, and 2) allelic imbalances across the genome.
  -  Compare the genetic profile of primary melanomas from patients with and without lymph node involvement.
  -  Determine the combinations of genetic lesions that correlate with nodal metastasis by adopting a statistical machine learning approach to build a lesion-based classifier for nodal metastasis.
  OUTLINE: Laser capture microdissection is performed on the archived tissue samples to isolate melanoma cells. DNA is then purified from the samples and amplified using PCR. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-time of flight mass spectrometry technology is used to detect mutations of B-Raf and N-Ras. Single nucleotide polymorphism arrays are also performed.
  Information about the patient's demographics (e.g., TNM staging, sex, age, and tissue collection dates) will be gathered by chart review or from the Multidisciplinary Melanoma Conference at University Hospitals tumor conference report in order to match cases.

Clinical trial: Early Diagnosis of Malignant Transformation of Pigmentary Skin Lesions

Summary: Malignant Melanoma is a deadly skin cancer that can be cured if diagnosed early. To date atypical pigmented skin lesions are diagnosed by appearance alone and many moles and lesions are excised unnecessarily and on the other hand malignant lesions are missed and diagnosed too late. In this study a protein conjugated to a florescent dye is spread on a suspicious pigmented lesion, the hypothesis is that this protein binds to malignant cells only and thus with a special camera that picks up the dye we can find pigmented lesions with early malignant transformation.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  pigmented lesion indicated for surgical excision
  -  over 18 years of age
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  pregnancy

Clinical trial: Detection of Choroidal Nevus Cells in Vitrectomy Fluid

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigators can detect the presence of choroidal nevi cells in the vitreous fluid of humans, as this may improve the diagnosis and classification of choroidal nevi and melanomas in the future.

Detailed description: Approximately 7% of the population has a choroidal nevus, or "freckle," in the back of the eye. Like a nevus on the skin, there is potential for malignant change to a melanoma. Dermatologists have the ability to quickly and easily biopsy suspicious skin lesions while ophthalmologists currently have no way of determining the malignant potential of choroidal nevi other than a fine needle aspiration (which is invasive and has the potential complications of bleeding and retinal detachment). This study's sole aim is to see if choroidal nevi cells are present in the inside fluid of the eye. The investigators plan to analyze the fluid of the eye, which is routinely removed during retina surgery, to detect any nevus cells. If the investigators are able to detect these cells, then future studies may allow us to better classify choroidal nevi for potential malignant change.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients with a choroidal nevus who are undergoing routine vitrectomy surgery for another indication (such as epiretinal membrane or macular hole repair).
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients without a choroidal nevus
  -  Children under the age of 18
  -  Pregnant and nursing females
