| Popis: | The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathologic features of melanoma in Mexico as the demographics of melanoma are not well known in Mexican and Latin American people. A total of 1219 patients with cutaneous melanoma were analyzed through a retrospective database collected from a cancer referral institute, and the results were compared with developed countries. Median age was 57 years, and 713 (58.5 %) were females. The most common melanoma subtype was acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), which was observed in 538 (44.1 %) patients. Median Breslow thickness was 5.2 mm. Among 837 patients with complete data, the 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) was 52.3 %. Factors associated with worse DSS on univariate analysis were Breslow thickness (p |
