SKIN MELANOMA OF 1-ST STAGE: PROGNOSIS FACTORS AND REMOTE RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT
5- and 10-year survival rate of 164 patients with skin melanoma of the I-st stage was studied. Gender differences were insignificant. These indices were 65, 4 and 52,5% in male and 72,3 and 55,3% in female. The most important factors effecting remote results of treatment were: invasion level, presence of ulceration and pigment nevus. 32,9% patients underwent non-radical treatment because of diagnostic mistakes. Conduction of repeated radical operation in 5 weeks do not worsen prognosis.
