Imaging intensity and survival outcomes in high-risk resected melanoma treated by systemic therapy at recurrence
Source: MDLinx, May 2020
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). Between 2006 and 2016, patients with resected malignant melanoma undergoing imaging surveillance at a single center have been identified. Surveillance and recurrence features (imaging, symptom, treatment, and survival data) have been collected retrospectively.
