The impact of the presence or absence of various prognostic factors on overall survival of melanoma patients was assessed using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis. A matched-pair analysis of NF-\u03baB expression was performed in cases with vascular involvement and increased tumor vascularity versus matched controls lacking these factors. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Cox regression analysis of factors evaluated by the American Joint Committee on Cancer Melanoma Staging Committee reproduced the powerful impact of tumor thickness and ulceration in this data set. With the inclusion of vascular factors such as tumor vascularity and vascular involvement, ulceration was no longer significant in predicting overall survival. By multivariate analysis, vascular involvement and tumor vascularity were the strongest predictors of melanoma outcome. Tumor vascularity seems to be a precursor of both vascular involvement and ulceration. A matched-pair tissue array analysis demonstrated the significant correlation between overexpression of NF-\u03baB\u2013p65 and the development of vascular factors. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> Vascular factors play an important role in the progression of malignant melanoma. Ulceration may be a surrogate marker for the interactions between melanoma and the tumor vasculature. NF-\u03baB seems to play an important role in the development of these factors. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2004.06.047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,2,14]],"date-time":"2004-02-14T02:18:29Z","timestamp":1076725109000},"page":"617-623","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["NF-\u03baB in the Vascular Progression of Melanoma"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Kashani-Sabet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Auerback Melanoma Research Laboratory and Melanoma Center, Cutaneous Oncology Program, Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco; and California Pacific Medical Research Institute, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ladan","family":"Shaikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Auerback Melanoma Research Laboratory and Melanoma Center, Cutaneous Oncology Program, Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco; and California Pacific Medical Research Institute, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"III","given":"James R.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Auerback Melanoma Research Laboratory and Melanoma Center, Cutaneous Oncology Program, Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco; and California Pacific Medical Research Institute, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehdi","family":"Nosrati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Auerback Melanoma Research Laboratory and Melanoma Center, Cutaneous Oncology Program, Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco; and California Pacific Medical Research Institute, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos M.M.","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Auerback Melanoma Research Laboratory and Melanoma Center, Cutaneous Oncology Program, Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco; and California Pacific Medical Research Institute, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert J.","family":"Debs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Auerback Melanoma Research Laboratory and Melanoma Center, Cutaneous Oncology Program, Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco; and California Pacific Medical Research Institute, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard W.","family":"Sagebiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Auerback Melanoma Research Laboratory and Melanoma Center, Cutaneous Oncology Program, Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco; and California Pacific Medical Research Institute, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"233","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0046-8177(84)80310-X"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/81.24.1893"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-198201001-00006"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00707987"},{"key":"R5","unstructured":"Balch CM, Soong SJ, Shaw HM: An analysis of prognostic factors in 8500 patients with cutaneous melanoma, in Balch CM, Houghton AN, Milton GW, et al: Cutaneous Melanoma (ed 2) .
