There were no significant differences when pediatric and adult SSM were compared for stage at presentation, ratio of radial to vertical growth phase, average Breslow depth and mitotic count, or frequency of FISH positivity. [scholars.northwestern.edu]

According to the author, the first criterion may not be present in the pigmented basal cell carcinoma (absence of pigmented reticulum), but one of the six criteria proposed must be present. [medwave.cl]

• Pain

Invasion of the dermis by atypical, pleomorphic melanocytes Absence of the 'maturation' typical of naevus cells Mitoses Treatment[edit] Treatment is by excisional biopsy, wide local excision and possibly sentinel node biopsy. [en.wikipedia.org]

Your doctor or cancer specialist or nurse will explain the different treatments and their side effects. They will also talk to you about things to consider when making treatment decisions. Surgery is the main treatment for melanoma. [macmillan.org.uk]

The Breslow Stage is used as a prognosis factor as it ranks how deeply the tumor cells have invaded. Breslow's depth was divided into 5 stages. [skincancer.net.au]

This measurement is an important factor in prognosis; for example, a thicker melanoma has a poorer prognosis. Breslow thickness is more important than the tumor's Clark's Level (more below) in determining prognosis. [oncolink.org]
