Article Synopsis
  • - Melanoma recurrence rates were found to be 8% for stage I, 24% for stage II, and 27% for stage III, with different types of recurrences (local, regional, distant) predominating at each stage.
  • - Various detection methods were used: patient complaints identified the highest percentage of recurrences in stage I (55%), while cross-sectional imaging (CSI) was most effective in stage III (59%).
  • - The study suggests that a history and physical examination (H&P) for all melanoma patients and CSI for those with higher stages are effective surveillance strategies.
