Population-based 20-year survival among people diagnosed with thin melanomas in Queensland, Australia.
PURPOSE The 20-year survival rates are unknown for the majority of melanoma patients-those with thin melanomas. We determined 20-year survival rates of patients diagnosed with thin melanomas (≤ 1.00 mm) in the general population and also determined the main prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Available clinical and histologic data from the Queensland Cancer Registry were obtained for all...
متن کاملStriking increase of thin melanomas contrasts with stable incidence of thick melanomas.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the temporal evolution of melanoma incidence in the department of the Bas-Rhin, France, and to study the evolution of tumor thickness. DESIGN Retrospective study including all histologically proven melanomas recorded at the cancer registry of the department of the Bas-Rhin between January 1980 and December 1992 and at the Cutaneous Histopathology...
متن کاملMultiple primary thick melanomas: similar dermoscopic pattern
It has been observed that a patient’s “normal” moles resemble each other clinically. This concept also applies to dermoscopic observations, as shown by our previous demonstration that an individual’s nevi tend to have one to three predominant overall dermoscopic patterns [1]. A recent study investigated and compared the dermoscopic patterns of multiple primary melanomas (MPMs) in a large series...
متن کاملAre there species smaller than 1 mm?
The rapid advance in genetic sequencing technologies has provided an unprecedented amount of data on the biodiversity of meiofauna. It was hoped that these data would allow the identification and counting of species, distinguished as tight clusters of similar genomes. Surprisingly, this appears not to be the case. Here, we begin a theoretical discussion of this phenomenon, drawing on an individ...
متن کاملMicromelanomas: A Review of Melanomas ≤2 mm and a Case Report
The ABCD acronym used to screen pigmented lesions for melanoma obviously was not designed to contend with melanomas that are under 2 mm in diameter. Previously, views ranged that such small lesions could not be melanomas until a few reports of such "micromelanomas" emerged. The author presents a 2 mm melanoma in situ presenting as an insignificant pigmented lesion in a 60-year-old patient with ...
