Abstract
This is a report on the periods of survival, and the factors that influence survival, in a series of 509 patients treated for malignant melanoma in the Peter MacCallum clinic, Melbourne. Not the least of these factors is education of the public and the medical profession in its early recognition, which has greatly improved the prognosis. In this context, it is also firmly believed that whenever possible, one clinician only should be responsible for the total surgical management of any suffering from this disease.Keywords
