- Advancement of Diagnostic Dermatopathology
|
| |
| Dr. McCalmont's exclusive interest is the advancement of diagnostic
dermatopathology. The UCSF dermatopathology unit is particularly
active as a bridge between conventional microscopy and molecular
methods. In the realm of cutaneous lymphoma, it provides comprehensive
consultation and classification, using both immunophenotyping and
genotypic analysis (via both PCR and traditional Southern blot methods)
as diagnostic supplements. It also provides consultative diagnoses
for a large volume of melanocytic neoplasms, and a recent advance
has been the clinical application of comparative genomic hybridization
(CGH) to the evaluation of a broad spectrum of melanocytic neoplasms,
including melanoma, Spitz's nevi, and cellular blue nevi, in collaboration
with Dr. Boris Bastian. CGH permits assessment of genomic gains
and deletions from paraffin-embedded material and should serve as
the cornerstone for the diagnosis of difficult melanocytic lesions
in the future. |
