Hereditary mminipig melanomas which have many histopathological and other features in common with their human counterparts, have recently become preffered melanoma models.The MeLiM strain was selected by partial inbreeding. A high tumour incidence and malignant behaviour on the one hand together with the occurrence of spontaneous regression and high susceptibillity to the devitalization technique as a new strategy in melanoma therapy, make the MeLiM strain a superior melanoma model to other hereditary swine melanomas.
