FIGURE 41.2-7. Comparison of two microstaging methods (tumor thickness
versus level of invasion). (A) Ten-year survival rates for AJCC stage
I and II melanoma patients according to levels of invasion subgrouped
by tumor thickness. There were statistically significant differences
in survival rates for patients with lesions of various thicknesses
within levels III, IV, and V. (B) Ten-year survival rates for AJCC
stage I and II melanoma patients according to tumor thickness
subgrouped by levels of invasion. There were no statistically
significant differences in survival rates for patients with lesions of
various levels of invasion within each thickness subgroup. (Balch CM,
