based SEER-based classification tree of ≤ 1Á0-mm melanoma after 10 years of follow-up, supporting their generalizability. 5 Ultimately, a prognostic model that provides an individualized absolute risk of melanoma outcomes is likely to be most informative to clinicians and patients for medical decisionmaking. Additional research is needed to understand how to best integrate costly and/or potentially hazardous tests to the prediction of thin melanoma outcomes. However, at a minimum, they should clearly be shown to provide a net benefit beyond clinicopathological factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
