Abstract

1 min read

In this study, the risk of melanoma-related death increased significantly for patients with primary tumors of 0.8 to 1.0 mm in thickness. The risk of death from nonmelanoma-ralated causes was similar across Breslow thicknesses of 0.1 to 1.0 mm. This analysis suggests that a 0.8-mm threshold for guiding the care of patients with thin primary melanomas.
