Les mélanomes du tronc ont-ils un pronostic individualisable? À propos d'une série de 77 cas

Primary tumor location (medial location) was the principal risk factor for multi-nodal drainage: lymphoscintigraphy was the best technique for lymphatic drainage assessment. Primary tumor location with single or multi-nodal drainage did not influence the rate of positive SLN and had similar disease-free and overall survival. For us, truncal melanoma has not a different prognosis than melanoma of extremities.
