摘要: Understanding prognosis of malignant melanoma is becoming increasingly important. Firstly, the incidence cutaneous rising rapidly [1]. There has been an 80% increase in United States between 1973 and 1980 [2]. Up to one every 200 citizens may expect develop a during next generation. Secondly, understanding interplay importance individual prognostic factors allow insight into biology tumor. Thirdly, allows general outline therapy for subsets patients with explicit tailoring patients. Lastly, although not least importance, ability give patient some gravity expected outcome his particular case. This last factor extreme because many physicians equate diagnosis grim outlook as cited older literature.
