ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the impact of the biomarkers and the clinicopathological characteristics on the prognosis of malignant melanoma (MM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 127 MM cases were retrospective analyzed. The surgical specimens of MM were analyzed with immunohistochemistry for detecting HMB45, S-100 and vimentin expressions, and univariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed to analyze their correlation to the prognosis of the patients.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 127 MM cases, the positivity rates of HMB45, S-100 and vimentin were 89.8%, 92.1% and 78.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the patients' age, ulcer, Clark classification, postoperative tumor margin, AJCC, treatment outcomes, and S-100 were significantly correlated to the prognosis, and multivariate analysis indicated that age, Clark classification, S-100, tumor margin and outcomes were the independent predictive factors for the prognosis of MM.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>S-100, age, Clark classification, S-100, tumor margin and treatment outcomes were the independent prognostic factors for MM, and HMB45 and vimentin have no predictive value in the prognosis of MM.</p>
