Favorable prognostic factors in recurrent and metastatic melanoma
J Am Acad Dermatol.
1996 May.
Abstract
Survival among patients with recurrent and metastatic melanoma varies widely. Several clinical and pathologic variables correlate with improved survival. Awareness of these favorable prognostic characteristics should assist in patient counseling and help identify those who may benefit from more aggressive therapeutic intervention.
