Mitotic rate in primary cutaneous melanoma: Cell division matters

Abstract

The prognostic significance of primary cutaneous melanoma tumor mitotic rate (TMR) has been of worldwide clinical interest for decades. Is there a path forward to build on the contributions from the report by Patuzzo et al. and other studies to refine the classification and staging of melanoma and to develop clinical tools to improve risk and prognostic assessment that include TMR to inform decision‐making?
