Abstract
Malignant melanoma has a distinctive appearance and has been clinically and histologically classified by Clark and Mihm. Using this classification a rationale for the surgical treatment of melanoma has been developed at the New York University Medical Center. The choice and extent of surgery is described. Early detection of melanoma and prompt surgical attention can significantly reduce the mortality from this neoplasm.Keywords
