The vascular morphology of melanoma is related to Breslow index: An in vivo study with dynamic optical coherence tomography

Abstract

Vascular pattern evaluation at 150 and 300 μm provided data on tumor microvascular asset and its pattern of progression in accordance with Breslow thickness. Since vascular progression is theoretically linked with tumor aggressiveness, the study of vascular pattern related with melanoma metastatization capability is warranted.
