Epidemiology and Prognostic Factors of Malignant Melanoma Among 200 Asian Patients from a Single Medical Center

Abstract With the prevalence of malignant melanoma increasing gradually and progressive westernization Asian lifestyle, it is important to analyze follow up on characteristics at regular intervals. We identified by analyzing consecutive patients from a single medical center. also examined trend prognostic factors in patients. investigated 200 with center between 2000 2022. Each patient’s sex age, tumor stage, site primary lesion, histological subtype, Breslow thickness, Clark level, period survival were collected historical records analyzed. Survival analyses performed using Kaplan–Meier method investigate factors. The ratio man-to-woman was 1:1.53; most common lower extremity (60%), acral lentiginous subtype (61%). Malignant commonly occurs extremities, primarily form subtype. In situ melanomas are prevalent regarding while Level 4 type melanoma. Sex thickness significantly associated rate. However, others not significant indicators for this cohort. This study confirmed that epidemiology maintained without change. several survival.
