Melanoma--a five year audit.
A retrospective clinical follow-up study of 50 cutaneous melanomas diagnosed at a Pigmented Lesion Clinic over a five year period is presented. Compared to previous Irish studies the mean Breslow depth of the tumours was considerably less, thus indicating that patients presenting to such clinics have more superficial melanomas and ultimately a better prognosis.
