Abstract
Experience with melanomas measuring less than 0.76 mm was reviewed. Over a 10-year period, of more than 400 patients with thin melanomas, 12 melanomas were found to have metastasized, with 11 resulting in death. Patients with thin melanomas should be carefully followed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
