Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the relationship between Breslow thickness (a measure of melanoma depth) and the diameter of cutaneous melanoma, focusing on patients with nodular melanoma (NM) and superficial spreading melanoma (SSM).
- - Out of 537 melanoma cases analyzed, NM had a greater Breslow thickness compared to SSM, but there was no significant correlation between thickness and melanoma diameter, even after adjusting for factors like age and sex.
- - The findings suggest that relying on a diameter greater than 6 mm may not be effective for detecting invasive melanomas, highlighting that smaller melanomas can also be significantly thicker.
