No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to estimate and define the mean number, degree of confluence, and depth of penetration of melanocytes in chronically sun exposed skin of the head and neck using Mart-1 immunostains on frozen sections. The study was conducted to confirm whether similar results were found using permanent sections. The present study used hematoxaline and eosin (H\&E) staining as well as Mart-1 staining, and included patients from both Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and Rochester.
