Tumor Diameter of Melanoma Demonstrates Statistically Significant Correlation With Survival
Source: Dermatology Times, May 2024
Researchers found that the diameter of cutaneous melanoma demonstrated a weak positive correlation with tumor thickness.
In a study published in World Journal of Surgery, researchers found that the tumor diameter of cutaneous melanomas demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with overall and disease free survival in an East Asian patient population.1
Diameter also exhibited a weak positive correlation with tumor thickness. Despite the weak correlation, it still exhibited significant predictive value.
