Our criterion for offering SLNB has evolved over time in line with changes to AJCC 7th edition staging where a single mitotic figure classified as thin melanomas <1mm Breslow thickness as pT1b, and current NICE guidelines where SLNB can be considered if thin melanomas have a mitotic rate ≥3...
Advances in conjunctival melanoma: clinical features, diagnostic modalities, staging, genetic markers, and management. The risk of metastatic disease from conjunctival melanoma is as high as 30% and depends on tumour origin, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification, biomarkers, and perh...
Currently well-established markers include clinicopathologic features such as depth of tumor and ulceration, molecular biomarkers S100, HMB-45 and serum LDH according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system9,10,11,12. However, these markers still remain deficient given that...

Even within AJCC 8th edition stage IIIA, disparities are marked, with the tumour burden within the sentinel lymph node(s) appearing to be a good stratification factor; 5-year OS ranged from 91% for metastasis < 0.1 mm, 61% for metastasis of 0.1–1.0 mm, and 51% for metastasis > 1.0 ...
As represented in Figure 1, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) has defined the TNM system—tumor, lymph nodes, metastasis—for melanoma staging, being internationally recognized and commonly applied [23,26]. Briefly, in the TNM system: (i) T refers to the size of the primary ...
When the primary melanoma meets the criteria of AJCC 8th edition [50] with a Breslow thickness of at least 1 mm, it is recommended that the patient should have an SLNB. The AJCC staging system has slight variations. The revised ASCO/SSO guidelines [51] recommend that new AJCC T1b patients...
