Acral Melanoma in the Caucasian Population: A Comprehensive Cohort Study on Epidemiological, Clinicopathological, and Prognostic Features

This study, the largest in a predominantly Caucasian population, underscores the unfavorable outcomes of acral melanoma. Foot melanomas exhibited delayed detection, increased invasiveness, thicker Breslow depth, increased SLNB involvement, and higher AJCC stages. The high recurrence rate and early distant metastases emphasize the critical role of intensive follow-up and routine imaging modalities to detect asymptomatic relapses.

Abstract

This study, the largest in a predominantly Caucasian population, underscores the unfavorable outcomes of acral melanoma. Foot melanomas exhibited delayed detection, increased invasiveness, thicker Breslow depth, increased SLNB involvement, and higher AJCC stages. The high recurrence rate and early distant metastases emphasize the critical role of intensive follow-up and routine imaging modalities to detect asymptomatic relapses.
