摘要: Purpose To develop more evidence-based guidelines for the frequency of patient follow-up after treatment localized (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] stage I or II) melanoma. Methods We used data from Melanoma Institute Australia an inception cohort 3,081 consecutive patients first diagnosed with II melanoma between January 1985 and December 2009. Kaplan-Meier curves Cox models were to characterize time course predictors recurrence new primaries. modeled delay in diagnosis primary as well number monitoring visits required using two schedules: first, according 2008 Australian New Zealand and, second, fewer visits, especially those at lowest risk recurrence. Results For every 1,000 beginning follow-up, 229 developed 61 within 10 years. There was only a small difference (extra 44.9 9.6 per 1...
