Abstract | Early diagnosis of malignant melanoma is critical for effective treatment and reduced patient mortality. However, current clinical and histological variables show limited accuracy in diagnosis. Serum or urine level of 5-S-cysteinyldopa (5-S-CD) is a commonly used melanoma biomarker in Japan owing to its increased sensitivity compared with other melanoma markers. However, its use as a diagnostic marker has shown some limitations. Therefore, here we examined the combination of 5-S-CD with melanoma inhibitory activity, which showed sensitivity in detecting melanoma comparable with that of 5-S-CD, and interleukin-8, a cytokine linked with melanoma progression, in a cohort of Japanese patients with melanoma. Our results revealed that the triple combination of 5-S-CD, melanoma inhibitory activity, and interleukin-8 showed high diagnostic accuracy in detecting melanoma compared with each of the individual factors. Importantly, the triple marker showed specificity and utility in detecting early-stage melanoma. Our results suggest the utility of the triple marker as a diagnostic biomarker for melanoma patients. |
