Impact of occult metastasis size on mortality in stage IIIA melanoma: A Swedish population-based registry study
In this population-based registry study from the Swedish Melanoma Register (2013-2018), we found that in stage IIIA melanoma, the size of the occult metastasis was independently associated with melanoma-specific death. Our finding may improve future prognostic precision for stage IIIA melanoma patients.
