In this study the prognostic value of immunohistochemical RBM3 expression was assessed in incident cases of malignant melanoma from a prospective population-based cohort study. Methods Until Dec 31st 2008 264 incident cases of primary invasive melanoma had been registered in the Malmo Diet and Cancer Study. Histopathological and clinical information was obtained for available cases and tissue microarrays TMAs constructed from 226 suitable paraffin-embedded tumours and 31 metastases. RBM3 expression was analysed by immunohistochemistry on the TMAs and a subset of full-face sections. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for comparison of RBM3 expression and relevant clinicopathological characteristics. Kaplan Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards modelling were used to assess the relationship between RBM3 and recurrence free survival RFS and overall survival OS . Results RBM3 could be assessed in 215 226 of primary tumours and all metastases. Longitudinal analysis revealed that 16 31 of metastases lacked RBM3 expression in contrast to the primary tumours in which RBM3 was absent in 3 215 cases and strongly expressed in 120 215 cases. Strong nuclear RBM3 expression in the primary tumour was significantly associated with favourable clinicopathological parameters . non-ulcerated tumours lower depth of .
