IL-10 expression by primary tumor cells correlates with melanoma progression from radial to vertical growth phase and development of metastatic competence
Down-regulation of the immune system facilitates tumor progression at different stages of cutaneous melanoma. Sentinel nodes, the first lymph nodes on lymphatics draining directly from a primary melanoma are immune down-regulated by tumor-generated immune-suppressive cytokines including interleukin-...
