[Growth rate of pulmonary metastases (author's transl)]. 1979

K R Trott, and H G Heinze, and B Kiesel, and G Kollmann, and J Kummermehr

The growth of 148 untreated metastases to the lung was determined in 47 patients. Pulmonary metastases of squamous-cell carcinomas, sarcomas and malignant melanomas exhibited exponential growth, the doubling times were distributed log-normally, the geometric mean amounted to six weeks. The growth rate of adenocarcinomas decreased with increasing tumor size approximately in accordance with a Gompertzian function.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
