Metastasis

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Summary

Malignant melanoma can spread to the heart, a condition known as cardiac metastasis. This case study details the complete removal of such a tumor, discussing its spread and symptoms.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Cardiology
Pathology

Background:

Malignant melanoma frequently metastasizes to the heart.
Cardiac metastasis from melanoma presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

A case of cardiac metastasis from malignant melanoma is presented.
The tumor was surgically removed in its entirety.

Findings:

The study discusses the mechanism of melanoma implantation in the heart.
Symptomatology associated with cardiac melanoma metastasis is analyzed.

Implications:

Understanding melanoma metastasis aids in early diagnosis and treatment.
Complete surgical resection may be a viable option for cardiac melanoma metastasis.
