In-transit metastasis is a special type of dissemination that might develop. Defined as the occurrence of single or multiple metastatic deposits between the primary tumor and the boundaries of the tumor's lymphatic nodal basin, in-transit metastasis may be caused by tumor cells that “escape” from lymph vessels draining the tumor toward regional lymph nodes. Such cells then come to rest in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or even intermediate nodes, growing into highly characteristic metastatic tumors. Some authors have found this type of metastasis to be more common in patients who have undergone selective sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or complete lymph node dissection,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,2</span></a> because the resulting lymphatic stasis encourages the escape of melanoma cells and metastatic spread between the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As SLNB is now included in most protocols for managing cutaneous melanoma, we aimed to analyze risk factors for in-transit metastasis and the relationship between the appearance of this form of dissemination and the use of SLNB.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Materials and Methods</span><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This prospective study included all patients with cutaneous melanoma seen by the melanoma unit of Hospital San Cecilio de Granada, Spain, from 2003 to 2006; excluded were patients with metastases at the time of diagnosis and with melanoma in situ.

Information recorded included demographic data (name, surnames, sex, and age), clinical variables (date of diagnosis, tumor location, clinical presentation, and treatment), findings of pathology (Breslow depth, Clark level, and presence of ulceration or not, presence of microscopic satellites or not), and clinical course (local recurrence, lymph node involvement, distant metastasis, in-transit metastasis, and follow-up period).</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A review of the literature showed that in-transit metastasis has not been defined uniformly across studies.

The prevalence of this subtype of metastasis varies a great deal, ranging from 2.5% to 23% in different patient series.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1–6</span></a> Such variability is partly explained by the lack of clear definitions for in-transit metastasis, local recurrence, and satellite metastasis; consequently, these types are often pooled as instances of regional/in-transit recurrence. However, if we adhere to a strict definition of in-transit metastasis (deposits at least 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm from the scar left by tumor excision and lying along the lymphatic drainage pathway), the prevalence rates fall considerably<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,4</span></a> and are consistent with the occurrence rate of 6.9% in our study. Because local recurrences are often the result of incomplete excision of the primary tumor and are associated with a better prognosis than in-transit metastasis, it makes sense to exclude them from our analysis. We did not analyze survival data in our series, but we did find an association between the presence of in-transit metastasis and the appearance of local, lymph nodal, and distant metastases: this association in itself suggests poor prognosis and would very likely correlate with poor survival. Other studies describe 5-year survival rates ranging from 12% to 54%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,4</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Most in-transit metastases in our patients were found within a year of diagnosis. Others have reported a higher incidence in the first 3 years after diagnosis,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> but even though we followed our patients for a mean of 3 years we saw that most in-transit metastases were detected shortly after diagnosis (mean of just less than 9 months). It might be argued that a longer follow-up period would have brought more cases to light, but as we have noted, the overall incidence in our series was similar to that of other larger ones in which patients were followed longer.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Among studies that have looked for factors influencing the development of in-transit metastasis, one of the largest and most exhaustive ones (1395 patients) found an incidence of in-transit metastasis of 6.6%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> In that study, Pawlik and coworkers studied patient variables and primary tumor characteristics, finding significant correlations between the occurrence of in-transit metastasis and the following factors: age over 50 years, tumor location on lower extremities, Breslow depth, presence of ulceration, and sentinel lymph node metastasis. They did not directly investigate a relationship to SLNB because all patients in the series had undergone the procedure. However, the authors argued that the fact that in-transit metastasis is associated with positive SLNB supports the theory that tumor biology is more relevant than surgical technique.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The factors that correlated with the development of in-transit metastasis in our study were the presence of ulceration, greater Breslow depth, higher Clark level, a diagnosis of acral lentiginous melanoma or nodular melanoma, advanced age, and positive SLNB. It is interesting that these are almost exactly the same factors that were associated with recurrence of any type in our series; furthermore, the relevance of these factors has already been reported in the literature.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,4,7,8</span></a> The only factors that were significantly associated with recurrence in general but not with the appearance of in-transit metastasis in particular were gender and the presence of satellite metastases. The lack of an association between the presence of satellite metastasis and in-transit metastasis is surprising given that these 2 forms share the same regional lymphatic drainage basin; we suppose that the small number of cases of satellite metastasis in our patient series accounts for this observation. Altogether, we think that these results suggest that the factors that have been linked to poor outcomes (low survival, high recurrence rates, etc.) in various studies are indicators of a melanoma biology with intrinsic cell characteristics that predict aggressive tumor behavior.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a></p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Tumor location was not significantly related to the development of in-transit metastasis in our study, in contrast with other series in which melanomas on the lower extremities have been reported to confer greater risk of this type of dissemination.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,7,10,11</span></a> The reason for such an association is unclear, although it has been suggested that the more extensive lymphatic system in the legs and perhaps the effect of hydrostatic pressure might contribute to lymphatic stasis and the entrapment of malignant cells. However, our finding of a lack of relationship is consistent with some earlier reports<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,7,8</span></a> and is therefore unsurprising.The pathogenesis of in-transit metastasis has not yet been clarified. It seems that tumor cells become trapped in lymph vessels as the tumor drains; from the point of entrapment, they would migrate toward the surface, metastasizing to the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and on occasion to lymph nodes. Some authors believe that tumor cells are more likely to become trapped when SLNB or lymphadenectomy disrupts lymphatic flow, thereby facilitating in-transit metastasis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,2,12</span></a> Many have questioned the validity of SLNB and would like to see the practice abandoned because of the possible iatrogenic effect and because no benefit in terms of longer survival has been clearly demonstrated in relation to SLNB or (if the biopsy is positive) to more complete lymphadenectomy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13–15</span></a></p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For the moment, attempts to clearly demonstrate a relationship between SLNB and in-transit metastasis have also failed to show conclusive results. Many studies that have attempted to establish causality have suffered from significant bias arising from design flaws. Furthermore, if the theory of lymphatic entrapment of tumor cells were correct, the incidence of in-transit metastasis in patients who have undergone SLNB or complete lymph node resection should be much higher than in those who have only undergone wide local excision of the tumor. In our study no significant association was found between performance of SLNB and in-transit metastasis.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It does seem clear that the incidence of in-transit metastasis rises a great deal when the results of SLNB are positive, possibly reflecting greater melanoma aggressivity as some authors have suggested<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,5,9,16</span></a> rather than an effect of the surgical technique per se. In fact, in nearly all series the incidences of in-transit metastasis have been very low when SLNB findings are negative; were there a relationship between this technique and in-transit metastasis, the incidence rates would probably be more similar in patients with negative and positive node status. Some authors attribute the higher incidence of in-transit metastasis in patients with positive SLNB to the fact that these patients usually then undergo complete lymph node resection, which would cause greater disruption of lymph drainage and, therefore, increase the likelihood that tumor cells would become trapped, escape, and migrate to the skin. However, a higher incidence of in-transit metastasis has not been seen in studies analyzing patient series in which lymph node resection has been performed; the rates reported in these series were actually very similar to ours<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> or only very slightly higher.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a></p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We know that a finding of in-transit metastasis is almost always associated with a poor prognosis and the appearance of nodal or distant metastasis. In fact the factors that were associated with in-transit metastasis in our study and others<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,4,7,8</span></a> were largely the same as those that predict other types of recurrence and poor overall survival. Therefore, it seems that these factors correspond to melanomas whose cell biology makes them highly prone to distant metastasis. The intrinsically aggressive nature of these tumors would explain why surgical treatment delays the natural history of this disease but does not change it.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Conflict of Interests</span><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:10 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xres95759" "titulo" => array:5 [ 0 => "Abstract" 1 => "Background" 2 => "Materials and methods" 3 => "Results" 4 => "Conclusions" ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec82917" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xres95758" "titulo" => array:5 [ 0 => "Resumen" 1 => "Introducción" 2 => "Material y métodos" 3 => "Resultados" 4 => "Discusión" ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec82918" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Materials and Methods" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Conflict of Interests" ] 9 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2011-02-16" "fechaAceptado" => "2011-06-06" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec82917" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "In transit metastases" 1 => "Malignant melanoma" 2 => "Sentinel node biopsy" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec82918" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Metastasis en transito" 1 => "Melanoma cutaneo" 2 => "Ganglio centinela" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Background</span><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">In-transit metastases have been associated with the presence of various negative prognostic factors in patients with cutaneous melanoma.
