Abstract: PURPOSE: To establish and validate patient derived tumor cell (PDC) model from mucosal melanoma of head and neck (HNMM). METHODS: Tumor cells derived from xenografted tumor tissue of patients with mucosal melanoma of head and neck were validated by immunofluorescence staining. Patient derived tumor cells were injected subcutaneously into nude mice. Tumor tissues originated from PDC were compared to tissue from primary tumors by H-E and immunochemistry staining. RESULTS: Immunofluorescence signal of HMB-45 and Melan-A expressed on membrane and cytoplasm of patient derived tumor cell. Patient derived tumor cell could form subcutaneous tumor in nude mice. The histology was similar between subcutaneous tumor and primary tumor under H-E and immunochemistry staining. CONCLUSIONS: Patient derived tumor cell model can be established from mucosal melanoma of head and neck and be used as a validated preclinical model for drug screening.
