8-Year-Survival in Malignant Melanoma Related to Sex and Tumor Location

Abstract: 1,322 melanoma patients in the clinical stage I were followed up for at least 8 years. The females clearly predominated (sex ratio f :m = 2.2:1). Trunk melanomas prevailed in males and extremity melanomas in females. The overall survival was strikingly better in females than in males. In 936 of the patients exhibiting ‘high risk’ melanomas, tumors located on the upper extremities and on the lower extremities gave the relatively best 8-year-survival rates (60.7% resp. 62.7%). 8-year-survival rates decreased if … Show more
