Dr Da Forno will also describe his investigation into the molecular differences between types of Spitzoid lesions and malignant melanoma. This study aimed to determine whether Spitz naevi share molecular features with common benign moles and malignant melanoma, and whether they are capable of progressing to become malignant melanomas.
The Molecular Pathology of Progression in Melanocytic Tumours takes place on Wednesday 12th November at 5:30 pm in the Frank and Katherine May lecture theatre, University of Leicester. It is open to the public and free.
