[New viewpoints on the prognostic index in malignant melanomas].
Investigation of anamnestic development, Tumor types, levels of invasion (Clark), tumor thickness (Breslow), mitotic index (Schmoeckel and Braun-Falco) in 407 (without lentigo maligna and preinvasive superficial spreading melanoma 317) cases revealed an interdependence between thickness and mitotic index. This is a theoretical argument against the "prognostic index" as a product of both these parameters.
