Sex is a well proven prognosticator in primary malignant melanoma. We studied 19 parameters of tumor cells in primary malignant melanoma from 391 patients, the purpose being to determine if melanomas in men and women are alike. Apart from results in thin melanomas, no difference was seen between the sex groups. Thin melanomas showed a significant difference for the melanoma-associated antigen G7-E2 (higher expression in women) and the histocompatibility antigen HLA-DR (higher expression in men). The results suggest that sex-related prognostic differences are due more to host than to tumor characteristics.
性别是原发性恶性黑色素瘤中已得到充分证实的预后指标。我们研究了391例原发性恶性黑色素瘤患者肿瘤细胞的19项参数,目的是确定男性和女性的黑色素瘤是否相似。除了薄型黑色素瘤的结果外,不同性别组之间未见差异。薄型黑色素瘤在黑色素瘤相关抗原G7-E2(女性表达较高)和组织相容性抗原HLA-DR(男性表达较高)方面存在显著差异。结果表明,与性别相关的预后差异更多地归因于宿主而非肿瘤特征。
