MC1R-targeting agents are being investigated in clinical trials in patients with melanoma, yet large studies investigating the rate and degree of MC1R expression in primary and metastatic human melanoma tissue are lacking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using tissue microarrays containing three large cohorts of 225 cases of benign nevi, 189 with primary melanoma, and 271 with metastatic melanoma, we applied quantitative immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry to comprehensively study MC1R protein expression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We show a stepwise elevation of MC1R expression in different stages of melanoma progression (nevi, primary, metastasis). Higher MC1R expression was seen in deeper (&gt;1 mm) primary lesions and ulcerated lesions and was associated with shorter survival in primary and metastatic tumors. On multivariable analysis, Breslow thickness, male sex, and chronic sun exposure were independent predictors of worse overall survival in the primary melanoma cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our data suggest that MC1R might be a valuable drug target in aggressive melanoma.
