We considered, by means of a multivariate approach, trends in survival from cutaneous malignant melanoma in relation to patient and tumor characteristics, using data from the Cancer Registry of the Swiss Canton of Vaud. Between 1980 and 1994, 1,229 cases of incident cutaneous malignant melanoma were
Heavy cigarette smoking (current smoking with greater than 15-pack-year smoking history), along with 13 other variables, were tested for their ability to predict death in 196 patients with clinical Stage I melanoma. A stepwise proportional hazards general linear model (Cox multivariate analysis) sho
Background. Thin melanomas can metastasize and be lethal. The predictive importance of tumor thickness in thin melanomas and the specific features identifying the patients at risk have not been investigated fully. Methods. Prognostic factors were analyzed in 585 patients with clinical Stage I invas
## Background: The limitations of morphologic criteria alone in determining the prognosis for a patient with a particular intermediate-thickness primary melanoma have prompted efforts to identify other markers. ## Methods: In this study, the authors analyzed expression of p53, beta1 integrin, and
