Jia-nan Huang,
Hai Yu,
Yang Wan
et al.

Abstract: ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive nomogram for the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of white patients with invasive melanoma at back, posterior arm, posterior neck, and posterior scalp (BANS) sites and to determine the validity of the nomogram by comparing it with the conventional American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system.MethodsThis study analyzed the patients with invasive melanoma in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. R software was … Show more

“…Among the factors we analyzed, age emerged as signi cant independent risk factors. In view of the high incidence rates of hypothyroidism and heart failure in the elderly 14,15 , there is a reasonable association with higher mortality among patients. Similar correlations have also been observed in other studies 16 .…”

“…The reason we choose 3-, 5-, and 8-year mortality is due to previous research. Lower limb melanoma survival may have identified these time points as important for assessing long-term outcomes or for making comparisons with other studies [ 25 , 26 ]. Also, in cancer stat facts of melanoma ( https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/melan.html ) the 5-year survival is 93.5%.…”

“…However, their prognostic value is still a matter of debate. Some studies correlated older age and male gender with decreased survival [3][4][5], while others found no association [6,7]. The primary location of the melanoma also has debatable prognostic value, but it appears location on the lower limbs is associated with a more favorable outcome [8] in comparison to an acral location [9] or head and neck location [10].…”
