In the last few years TAM receptors, which are a unique family of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), have acquired
increasing importance. The aim of our study was to evaluate Mer and Axl TAM receptors expression in
malignant melanoma (MM) samples, in order to find clinicopathological features that could explain the
different biological behavior of MM. Mer an Axl Tam receptors are a further important pathway that, in the
future, could be more studied for the pathogenesis of MM, in order to expand the spectrum of relative target
treatments
