Is primary Tumor Thickness a Prognostic Factor in Stage IV Melanoma : A Retrospective Study of Primary Tumor Characteristics?
Primary tumor thickness is a significant prognostic factor in stage IV melanoma. Our data suggest that the biology of the primary melanoma may persist to influence the behavior of metastatic disease.
PCI is safe and safety in very old patients despite significant but acceptable increasing in-hospital mortality due to more severe disease and co morbidities. Further evaluations are necessary in order to edict specific recommendations.
