Human Melanoma: From Basic Research to Clinical Application

This is a ready source of information on melanoma, spanning from basic research to clinical investigations. Special emphasis is placed on immunology and molecular biology, and results derived from the application of biotechnology to melanoma are reviewed. Other topics discussed by leading authorities include: the characteristics of melanoma associated antigens defined by monoclonal antibodies, the role of melanoma associated antigens and HLA antigens in the biology of melanoma cells, the results of immunohistochemical studies and radio-imaging with monoclonal antibodies, and the development and application of therapeutic approaches.
