Figure 1 Serum levels (U per mL) of cytoplasmic melanoma-associated antigens (CYT-MAA) and high-molecular-weight melanoma-associated antigen (HMW-MAA) in 117 patients with melanoma and 62 controls. Each point is the median of triplicate samples. All three antigens were significantly higher in sera of patients with melanoma than in controls.

Figure 2 Median serum levels (U per mL) of cytoplasmic melanoma-associated antigens (■), and high-molecular-weight melanoma-associated antigen (□) in different stages of melanoma. The levels of both antigens were equally high in all stages of melanoma.

Figure 3 Kaplan–Meier analysis of recurrence or progression-free survival of patients with non-detectable cytoplasmic melanoma-associated antigens (CYT-MAA) (solid line) versus those with detectable CYT-MAA (dotted line). Patients with CYT-MAA were significantly more likely to recur or progress.
