Cutaneous malignant melanoma is a rare but fatal disease in East Asia. Despite its
increasing incidence, a general lack of awareness about the disease was noted. This study …

Introduction Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is useful for the prognostic stratification of
patients with thick melanoma. Identifying which variables are associated with SLN …

Objectives: Thick melanomas, defined as≥ 4 mm in thickness, represent~ 5% of new
melanoma diagnoses and have been associated with poor overall survival (OS). Ultrathick …

Survival predictions are currently determined on the basis of NRAS/BRAF mutations, even

Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been somewhat controversial for
patients with a diagnosis of thick (> 4 mm) melanoma. This study aimed to characterize the …

Under current AJCC staging criteria, stage IIC patients paradoxically have worse outcomes
than IIIA patients despite the lack of nodal metastatic disease. This study sought to identify …

Background The large-scale implementation of primary and secondary skin cancer
prevention strategies in recent decades has led to an increase in the diagnosis of thin …
