Rosaria Bufalino

TL;DR: In an attempt to delineate the histologic diagnostic criteria, to classify different categories of lymphocytic infiltrates, previously described by Elder et al. as brisk, nonbrisk, and absent, and to verify their prognostic significance, 285 consecutive cases of primary cutaneous melanomas are reviewed.

TL;DR: The absence ofLocal recurrence in the group of patients with a primary melanoma thinner than 1 mm and the very low rate of local recurrences indicate that narrow excision is a safe and effective procedure for such patients.

TL;DR: Information on the presence or absence of internal mammary node metastases would be of great importance in formulating the prognosis of breast cancer patients and a biopsy at the first intercostal space may be reasonable in selected patients as long as noninvasive methods of diagnosis are available.

TL;DR: Over‐expression of p 185 was found to be related to tumor size and grade and to LPI but not to pathologic nodal status, and showed the same correlation with a poor prognosis as in node‐positive patients.

TL;DR: In a randomized trial of adjuvant chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or immunochemotherapy, 761 evaluable patients with pathological Stage II cutaneous melanoma anywhere on the body or with pathological stages I melanoma of the trunk were studied by the World Health Organization International Melanoma Group.
