Description
Zhou and co-authors show in 2026 that tumor location splits mucosal melanoma into distinct subtypes. This rare, aggressive melanoma grows on inner linings rather than skin. How site, gene changes, stage, and survival relate was poorly charted.
Records covered one hundred five patients at one major center over nearly thirty years. Lower-body tumors carried more of two gene changes, while another change spread across all sites. Tumors with that widespread change more often arrived already spread than tumors with the lower-body change. Lower-body cases also survived far less long. Site stayed a strong survival signal even after other factors were counted.
