Abstract

To date, a number of specific proteins have been proposed as markers for the diagnosis of melanoma, S100 and sCD44std are among them. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic value of these oncomarkers in the blood serum of patients in complex cases of differential diagnosis of skin melanoma. The serum for S100 and sCD44std proteins was studied in 24 patients with melanocytic neoplasms of the skin. When assessing the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy, it was established that for the differential diagnosis of skin melanoma, these indicators were 16.7%, 88.89% and 70.83%, respectively. Thus, the currently proposed oncomarkers for the diagnosis of skin melanoma do not have sufficient diagnostic value necessary for the detection of skin melanoma. The inclusion of a serum study on S100 and sCD44std proteins in a diagnostic algorithm in cases of complex differential diagnosis of melanocytic neoplasms of the skin is not advisable.
