Abstract
To assess the significance of spontaneous regression in superficial spreading melanoma (SSM), 36 patients with clinical signs of regression in their primary tumor were compared to 200 patients with regular SSMs (controls). SSMs with regression were found to have the following, distinctive clinical features, which were significantly different from controls (PP<0.05). SSMs with regression therefore have unique clinical features, which may be related to their pathogenesis, and they may have some prognostic significance.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
