Abstract
Recent papers have addressed critical issues regarding the microstaging of cutaneous melanoma. They concern the new staging proposal by the American J oint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), the presentation of new prognostic models than seem applicable in daily practice, and new immunohistochemical finding s than demonstrate prognostic information independently of the conventional major factors. These issues are commented on by the Pathology Committee of the EORTC Melanoma Group.
