Excerpt

The development over the past few decades of large databases of cancer patients is providing physicians and their patients with the ability to make increasingly accurate and empirically based estimates of the chance of cancer survival. Two studies reported in this issue of the Annals of Surgical Oncology attest to the latest developments in the application of such a quantitative approach to the understanding of melanoma outcome. …
