What’s inside
View ResearchDiscover the significant findings on the impact of atopy on cutaneous melanoma outcomes. This retrospective cohort study reveals that elderly individuals with a history of atopy, particularly atopic dermatitis, have improved overall survival and a decreased risk of brain metastasis compared to those without atopy. The study suggests that atopy may enhance immune responses, offering a potential protective effect against melanoma progression and metastasis.
Atopy Improves Survival in Melanoma
Study shows atopy improves overall survival and reduces brain metastasis risk in cutaneous melanoma patients.
Association Between Atopy and Brain Metastasis
Atopic individuals with melanoma have lower incidence of brain metastasis, suggesting enhanced immune response.
Retrospective Cohort Study on Atopy and Melanoma
Analysis of elderly melanoma patients reveals atopy, especially dermatitis, improves survival and reduces metastasis.
Impact of Atopic Dermatitis on Melanoma Outcomes
Atopic dermatitis significantly reduces death hazard and brain metastasis risk in melanoma patients.
Gender and Racial Differences in Melanoma Outcomes
Study highlights gender and racial disparities in melanoma brain metastasis and survival rates.
Mechanisms of Atopy's Protective Effect in Cancer
