ABSTRACT
Malignant
melanoma, once rare cancer, today achives almost epidemical proportions
world-wide. To analyze our experience treating malignant melanoma
of the skin between 1994 and 2003. 232 patients with malignant melanoma
were analyzed. Topics discussed in this abstract include patients
age, gender and occupation, TNM classification, Clark and Breslow
histopathological classification, location of cancer, type of surgery,
postoperative care and three year survival rate. 108 patients (47%)
treated with radical excision, radical excision with lymph node
dissection (immediate or delayed) was performed in 102 patients
(44%) and 22 patients (9%) were treated with Pack operation. Subsequent
regional lymph node dissection was performed in 65 patients and
local relapse excision was performed in 8 patients. Three year survival
rate was 80% (185 patients). The incidence of malignant melanoma
is increasing. Survival rate following surgical procedure as well
as the lengh of survival have increased, however these two parameters,
besides adequate surgical treatment, depend on the stadium of the
disease. |
