In a study, melanoma patients who developed vitiligo, lived longer than those who did not. The explanation for this is melanin synthesis in vitiligo patients was suppressed due to medications for melanoma patients with vitiligo already had an autoimmune disease before getting melanoma vitiligo was an indicator of a robust immune response to melanoma presence of vitiligo was an observation unrelated to melanoma   Cells undergoing EMT are most frequently observed In normal tissue surrounding a tumor. In the center of a tumor. Near the edge of a tumor. Only in circulating tumor cells.

Defense Mechanism

Circumstances influence and compel people to behave in a certain way. One such behavior is a defense mechanism. It is employed by people to escape from unpleasant circumstances, thoughts and actions. Defense mechanisms are, thus, psychological strategies that help to avert and avoid unwanted feelings such as guilt or shame and situations such as threat and danger.
