Prognostic significance of tumor size for primary invasive cutaneous melanoma: A population‐based study, 2004‐2016

Abstract

Tumor size was an important independent prognostic factor for MSS in patients with primary invasive CM. Tumor size larger than 30 mm would provide additional and important prognostic information in each T subcategory of localized CM. Furthermore, tumor size with a cutoff value of 12 mm has great potential in improving the accuracy of melanoma T1 substaging.
