Researchers investigated the independent prognostic worth of tumor size vs other clinical and pathologic characteristics of primary invasive cutaneous melanoma (CM) in this study with 28,593 patients with primary invasive CM who were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database from 2004 through 2016

Imaging intensity and survival outcomes in high-risk resected melanoma treated by systemic therapy at recurrence
Univariate (t test, Chi square test) and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to examine the effect of imaging intensity on the rates of asymptomatic surveillance-detected recurrence (ASDR) and subsequent treatment outcomes in patients with access to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted therapy (TT).
Identification of a Gene-Related Risk Signature in Melanoma Patients Using Bioinformatic Profiling
In the present study, the researchers sought to systematically analyze the gene expression pattern in the melanoma-immune microenvironment and its association with prognosis.
Melanoma incidence among non-Hispanic whites in all 50 US states from 2001 through 2015
In order to analyze changes in melanoma incidence, the authors gathered data from all 50 states and conducted age-period-cohort analyses to describe the combined impact of age, era, and cohort on incidence rates.
