Identifying high-risk features and improving follow-up strategies in thin melanoma: a retrospective cohort study
Prognostic factors such as ulceration, mitotic rate and histological subtype should guide individualized follow-up strategies. Ultrathin melanomas may require less intensive monitoring, while melanomas > 0.5 mm could benefit from extended follow-up beyond current guidelines. Tailoring surveillance based on recurrence risk could improve outcomes and quality of care for patients with TM.
