Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of an elective regional lymph node dissection of 1 to 4 mm thick melanomas for patients 60 years of age and younger.
Charles M. Balch,Seng Jaw Soong,Alfred A. Bartolucci,Marshall M. Urist,Constantine P. Karakousis,Thomas J. Smith,Walley J. Temple,Merrick I. Ross,William R. Jewell,Martin C. Mihm,Raymond L. Barnhill,Harold J. Wanebo +11 more
TL;DR: This is the first randomized study to prove the value of surgical treatment for clinically occult regional metastases for intermediate-thickness melanomas, especially with nonulcerative melanoma and those with tumors 1 to 2 mm thick, may benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of 2-cm surgical margins for intermediate-thickness melanomas (1 to 4 mm). Results of a multi-institutional randomized surgical trial.
Charles M. Balch,Marshall M. Urist,Constantine P. Karakousis,Thomas J. Smith,Walley J. Temple,Kristopher Drzewiecki,William R. Jewell,Alfred A. Bartolucci,Martin C. Mihm,Raymond L. Barnhill,Harold J. Wanebo +10 more
TL;DR: Margins of excision can be safely reduced to 2 cm for patients with intermediate-thickness melanomas, which significantly reduced the need for skin grafting and shortened the hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of failure after curative resection of pancreatic carcinoma.
John F. Griffin,Stephen R. Smalley,William R. Jewell,Jorge C. Paradelo,Ralph D. Reymond,Ruth S. Hassanein,Richard G. Evans +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that local failure after curative resection remains a significant problem and further efforts to improve local control are warranted and adjuvant treatment strategies using wide‐field radiation techniques or intraperitoneal therapy, in combination with local tumor bed irradiation and chemotherapy, should be explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Results of a Multi-Institutional Randomized Trial Comparing Prognostic Factors and Surgical Results for Intermediate Thickness Melanomas (1.0 to 4.0 mm)
Charles M. Balch,Seng-Jaw Soong,Merrick I. Ross,Marshall M. Urist,Constantine P. Karakousis,Walley J. Temple,Martin C. Mihm,Raymond L. Barnhill,William R. Jewell,Harry J. Wanebo,Rene Harrison +10 more
TL;DR: Long-term survival rates from patients treated at 77 institutions demonstrate that ulceration and tumor thickness are dominant predictive factors that should be used in the staging of stages I and II melanomas, and confer a survival advantage for these subgroups of prospectively defined melanoma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term results of a prospective surgical trial comparing 2 cm vs. 4 cm excision margins for 740 patients with 1-4 mm melanomas.
Charles M. Balch,Seng-Jaw Soong,Thomas J. Smith,Merrick I. Ross,Marshall M. Urist,Constantine P. Karakousis,Walley J. Temple,Martin C. Mihm,Raymond L. Barnhill,William R. Jewell,Harry J. Wanebo,Renee A. Desmond +11 more
TL;DR: For this group of melanoma patients, a local recurrence is associated with a high mortality rate, a 2-cm margin of excision is safe and ulceration of the primary melanoma is the most significant prognostic factor heralding an increased risk for a local Recurrence.
