It IS easy if you ignore all those pompous geeks who have their heads up their asses.

[ZsTuEu]

You make pathology seem so easy!  Thank you very much!

[HAMODY73]

thanks so much 

[gaara06318]

you're a great teacher. sadly, i had a hard time with my pathology because most professors just aimed to show off what they know. You, on the other hand, are really sincere in explaining and wanting us to actually learn something. I aced a test because of your videos. thank you so very much.

[keili1989]

thank you :)

[itsthatpersonagain]

Thank you so much! I have a pathology exam on Monday, and this really helped!

[agentdark64]

Geez, it look so straight forward determining if it's melanoma. I always worry the pathologist got my diagnosis wrong

[laurence132]

thank you, Very well presented .

laymans key to detecting a melanoma is

look for ANY change in a mole .

unfortunaely the nodular melanoma

presented at the begining often begins vertical dermal invasion early. micro mets are probably present

i am studying the biology cancer in my second year at university and this has really helped. thanks!

[autigerssuck]

yuck, those are some mean and nasty looking cells in there. is it just me, or do some of these have multi-polar mitoses?

[WashingtonDeceit]

yeah, a multipolar mitosis is generally regarded as a cancer cell, i can not think of ever seeing a MPM in a cell that wasn't

Thank you for these videos. You have an excellent ability to teach, & I am able to really follow you, in a very interested way. I am a survivor of a malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes tumor (doubtful that 1 of those will be on here :( ~ It accounts for less than 1/10th of 1% of all types of breast cancers, and is a vascular cancer & unresponsive to most treatments, other than surgery. Anyway, I have a strong interest in medicine & find all of this very fascinating... Thank you for the videos

My friend had a mole removed 14 years ago half way down her arm, she was an avid sunbather. She had 29 lymph nodes removed from her armpit 3 months ago (block dissection). The consultant was happy with the operation so no radio/chemo was advised he felt it was encapsulated and had not spread. She has recently been diagnosed as having scar tissue which the consultant now feels maybe malignant as it appears to be another enlarged lymph node. It will be removed next week. What is her prognosis?

[WashingtonDeceit]

of course, if the new "scar tissue" really turns out to be melanoma on microscopic examination, prognosis could be guarded long term

many melanomas can respond drastically well to immunotherapy

Thank you for doing this, I've had 3 melanoma's and a lump now has formed near an old site that I had surgery on and I'm trying to gather information before I see the Oncologist next week. I hope the lump is just a fatty benign tumor. All of mine were Clarks I or II, so I was very fortunate.
