[Prognostic factors for differentiation of melanoma patients with and without relapse].
In a retrospective analysis histopathologically determined high risk factors were registered in 150 melanoma patients. In addition immunological tests were carried out in 119 of these patients. Relapses were shown to occur so far only in melanoma patients with one ore more of the following high risk factors: Maximal tumour thickness greater than or equal 3 mm, level V according to Clark, very high mitotic activity, evidence of metastasis, and reduced PHA stimulation in the LTT.
