Exploring the common mutational landscape in cutaneous melanoma and pancreatic cancer

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Cutaneous melanoma and pancreatic cancer are aggressive tumors whose incidences are rapidly increasing in the last years. Our work aims to provide a complete and update description about mutational landscape in cutaneous melanoma and pancreatic cancer, focusing on similarities of these two apparently so different tumors in terms of site, type of cell involved, and embryonic origin. The familial forms of cutaneous melanoma and pancreatic cancers are often characterized by a common mutated gene, namely CDKN2A.
