ABSTRACT
Ulceration of a primary cutaneous melanoma is clearly associated with worse prognosis, although the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Recent studies have shown that the presence of ulceration may predict response to adjuvant IFN in high-risk patients. As molecular pathways continue to be elucidated, it is possible that continued study of ulceration will provide insight into potential therapeutic strategies, or will predict response to novel targeted therapies. Future investigation into melanoma ulceration is warranted.
