| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When choosing a therapy for advanced melanoma, it is essential to search for the presence of BRAF gene mutation as a therapeutic target in tumor cells. In this study, we investigated the clinical morphological characteristics of melanoma associated with BRAF gene mutation. As a result, the proportion of pigmented macule was higher in the lesion with BRAF gene mutation than that without the mutation and the number of color in a lesion was variegated which included brown, red and pink. To clarify the morphological characteristics of melanoma associated with BRAF gene mutation, it is helpful not only for choosing an appropriate therapy but also for clarifying the role of BRAF gene mutation in melanoma pathology.
