Expert Melanoma Researcher’s

Clear Cell Sarcoma Cancer Diagnosis

The Lori Ann Reigert Skin Cancer Awareness Foundation was a major sponsor and donor at melanoma fund raising events in Ohio and throughout the U.S for several years and in meeting with many melanoma survivors and the families of many melanoma victims, it became clear that that there were many specific types of rare “malignant melanomas” without any known melanoma cancer skin lesions such as rare MUP (because Dr. Van Heeckeren had never told us that he interpreted her diagnosis as MUP).

In order to bring closure by identifying her specific “malignant melanoma” cancer, nearly four years later after she was lost, the Lori Ann Reigert Skin Cancer Awareness Foundation donated her cancer specimen, through an attorney, to nationally recognized melanoma researcher Dr. Boris Bastian, at the University of California at San Francisco for his complete analysis to determine Lori Ann Reigert’s exact type of melanoma.

DR. BORIS BASTIAN’S REPORT

Dr. Bastian reported on 3/12/19 that his examination of the cancer specimen of Lori Ann Reigert determined, without any doubt, that the cancer that took her life was Clear Cell Sarcoma, a well known mimic of melanoma, and not any type “malignant melanoma” or rare, non-skin lesion melanoma such as Melanoma of Unknown Primary (MUP), Mucosal Melanoma or Primary Pleural Melanoma mentioned in her pathology and oncology reports.

FACTS

It was only by chance that the family of Lori Ann Reigert discovered, according to Dr. Bastian, that she had been wrongly diagnosed with “malignant melanoma” and was never diagnosed with or treated for her Clear Cell Sarcoma Cancer that took her life.

The family of Lori Ann Reigert is forever grateful to Dr. Bastian for reexamining her cancer and discovering the truth.
