“…However, the extensive longitudinal follow‐up was required to be able to compare LR with a control group with DF survival longer than 10 years. Previous studies found that LR are characterized by thinner lesions and absence of ulceration, when they are compared to patients who experienced an early relapse . However, the correlation of thicker lesions and ulceration with early progression is not unexpected since these are the major negative prognostic factors in primary melanoma.…”

“…In many Countries patients who are disease‐free 10 years after diagnosis are considered “cured” and discharged from follow‐up. However, patients can recur also after such a prolonged time period and they would profit from an early detection of progression . Up to date, the characteristics of the patients who should be monitored beyond 10 years are not defined.…”

“…Cutaneous melanoma can develop loco-regional and/or distant metastases in 20% of cases [1,2]. Although most of melanoma recurrences (65-81%) will occur within 3 years after treatment, metastases can also occur after 10 years [3]. The frequency of this event varies from 1.1 to 6.9% of melanoma patients [1,4,5].…”
