Abstract

A multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis shows that histologic regression is more likely to be found in a malignant melanoma that is level III or less, more than 10 mm in diameter, associated with solar elastosis, located on an anatomic area other than the head or neck, and when there are areas of whiteness clinically. Although patients with malignant melanomas displaying signs of regression histologically have a slightly better 5-year disease-free survival, this may be attributed to a difference in tumor thickness.
